One-on-one discussion/development sessions of Ph.D. topics with graduate students.  Sessions are intended to assist students by providing constructive feedback on topics, not to test knowledge.  The sessions may include discussion of dissertation research project, research methodologies, progress and related issues. 

The goal of these sessions is to assist in the development of their research topic and improve skills in communicating research concepts.  In particular we will discuss the appropriateness of selected research methods used for data analysis within the context of the specific project and data presented.

Schedule: Wednesdays in March and April, 12-3:00pm, by appointment only.

Participation is based on One-on-One sessions - please coordinate your time slot directly with Prof. Elston (julie.elston@osucascades.edu)

Students are required to email me a draft of their current dissertation or a dissertation summary at least 1 week in advance prior to the scheduled meeting to facilitate a productive exchange. One hour time slots from 12-3:00pm will be made available by appointment on Wednesdays in March for students to schedule according to their availability. 

The final grade of the course will depend on:

50% participation in discussion

50% individual presentation of research
