GCH 8231 Thesis Seminar
This Thesis Seminar is offered in the fall semester of the second year of the program. It is designed to assist students in synthesizing competencies, skills and knowledge acquired in the MSc Program and comprehensively apply to real world challenges. This course will equip students with guidelines and administrative processes necessary to develop and execute their thesis. The goal of the Thesis Seminar is for participants to hone the skills and judgments necessary to identify significant and empirically feasible research questions, develop appropriate research/project designs to address those questions, complete independent research to bring evidence to bear on those questions, and write-up the research/project proposal under the supervision of the Thesis Committee selected by each student. The instructors will discuss in detail each master thesis/project idea in order to identify possibilities for improvement and fine-tuning. The seminar will also foster collaboration and mutual support among the students.
