Meetings will be scheduled for 45 minutes. During the meeting, students will present their research proposals using formal presentation slides (e.g., PowerPoint). The student presentation should be 15- 20 minutes; the remaining time is reserved for discussion and feedback from the committee. Students should distribute the slides to their committee members at least 72 hours before the meeting so that the committee can become familiar with the student’s proposal and rationale beforehand. In the meeting, students can then focus on reviewing the research plan and method (e.g., research design, research question(s), recruitment strategies, measures, plan for data analysis). After the Proposal Meeting is complete, committee members will indicate if the proposal may move forward without changes, may move forward with minor revisions, or requires more substantive revision. If more substantive changes are required, the student must meet with the dissertation chair to discuss the direction of the proposal. This is documented on the Dissertation Proposal Meeting Form (in Tevera ). II. Dissertation I – PSYD 856 Students must be registered for the first dissertation course no later than the Winter semester prior to their internship application.
Tasks that must be completed to earn credit: 1. Finish the proposal draft 2. Obtain draft approval from all committee members, and 3. Submit application to IRB (after the full committee approves the proposal)
Grading: All committee members complete the Scholarship Competencies Evaluation Rubric in Tevera . Students may not proceed to the next stage of the dissertation without earning an overall passing rating from all three members on the rubric. Passing ratings are a “3/Pass” or higher. Students must also earn a pass on SOA1, SOA2, or SOA12, and no ratings of fail on the rubric. Students who are deficient in any area will need to work with their committee to address and correct these deficiencies. Dissertation II: Data Collection- PSYD 857 Students register for the second dissertation course after successful completion of the first course (i.e., PSYD 856). III. Tasks that must be completed to earn credit: 1. Obtain approval from IRB. a. Please note IRB approval must be obtained and uploaded to Tevera by October 1 to continue the internship application process. 2. Complete data collection (if applicable to the type of dissertation) Grading: Students may not proceed to the next stage of the dissertation until they have successfully completed the two required tasks and earned credit for the dissertation course. If students experience difficulties with data collection, they must address these with their committee and may revise the data collection plan. Revisions may require a new submission to the IRB.
IV. Dissertation III: Final Draft and Research Dissemination Plan– PSYD 859 Students register for the third dissertation course after successful completion of the second course
