Course Objectives: | Graduate Seminar course is a systematic study that prepares students for their thesis writing. To help students conduct a thesis study, the course involves augmenting critical thinking, researching, and academic writing skills. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Critique research articles on current topics 2. Formulate a specific research topic and research questions 3. Conduct literature review relevant to a research topic they have selected 4. Collaborate with faculty to develop applicable research methodology for data collection and analyses 5. Write a research proposal outlining key elements of the proposed project and present it orally in seminar |
The seminar course introduces students with various current research ideas widening their perspectives and awareness of topics of interests through invited speakers and their presentations. The course orients students to conduct literature review on a pre-determined subject, to help them gain competence in synthesizing the literature, collect data, analyze, interpret and discuss the findings. |
