Be here! Your grade depends upon it. You are expected to attend,
take notes, and participate in weekly seminars. Late students
conspicuously disturb the learning experience for their
classmates. As a courtesy, you should plan to arrive no later than
the start of class (if not sooner). This seminar requires that
assigned readings are actually read before class. Questions about
the content of the reading material must be emailed to the
professor and the TA before class, at least 3 times
during the semester. The desire is to have a thoughtful series of
discussions and critiques of the material, rather than simply a
reiteration of what is stated by the authors. If you are sick or
have some other difficulty with attendance, please communicate
with the professor as soon as possible.
You are required to submit an individually written (systematic) literature review to your dissertation supervisor for grading. Supervisors are expected to submit final paper grades to the seminar professor within 7 days of the student submission due date. It is expected that this paper will be developed and worked on throughout the semester. In terms of writing format, choose a format suggested by your supervisor or one derived from a research design textbook (i.e., Creswell, 2014).
~25 minutes including Q&A. You will be asked to present work
in progress related to your developing literature review. Be
professional with your presentation and make sure to include key
details related to the research project. The content of the
presentation should include the following elements:
Following the 15-20 minute presentation, you are responsible to
lead a discussion for 5 minutes. Each presenter will be evaluated
by three peers through a feedback form submitted to the prof at
the end of the presentation. Attendance is mandatory.
