Required of doctoral candidates.
This resident-centered faculty-guided seminar course offers the orthopedic resident an opportunity to reflect and revisit their clinical experience with a specific patient for the purpose of providing the most comprehensive and highest quality care in the future through self-assessment, clinical development, evidence gathering, and professional reflection. Residents bring their own clinical experience to share in the course and will reflect on the evaluation and management of one patient/client case involving the lower quarter. Residents will analyze the clinical decision-making process, actual and potential modifications to the plan of care, and the outcomes of the case from the broad perspective of all International Classification of Functioning domains and the specific focus of advanced orthopedic practice. Consideration will be given to insightful analysis of the best available evidence, the advantages and biases of clinical experience, and deductive and inductive critical thinking in the pursuit of expert practice. Emphasis will be placed on the impact of such analysis on future clinical decision-making and future case management.

This course is an introduction to econometrics and statistical inference at the graduate level (PhD). Topics will include mathematical statistics, estimation methods for linear and non-linear models, and statistical inference. The intent is to develop a rigorous understanding of econometric models necessary for empirical research in economics, operations, and marketing.
This is a course designed for first- and second-year graduate students who are interested in the issue of community formation, lineage, genealogy, transmission, and translation, whether textual or cultural. Course texts will be a combination of theoretical interventions and case studies drawn from major religious traditions. The learning goals of the course are the following: (1) to introduce seminal interpretive and/or methodological issues in the contemporary study of transmission; (2) to read several theoretical “classics” in the field, to provide a foundation for further reading; (3) to sample, where possible, new writing in the field; and (4) to encourage students to think of ways in which the several issues and authors surveyed might provide models for their own ongoing research work.
This course provides an in-depth examination of qualitative study designs and methods through a combination of theoretical discussion and hands-on practical experience. Topics include paradigm distinctions, theoretical perspectives, designs and methods, critique of research reports, and ethical issues in qualitative research.
Prerequisite: member of the departments permission
This foundational course will examine the philosophy of nursing knowledge including foundations of nursing theory; concept development; and its application to research. Students will explore approaches to the analysis and development of concepts and the application of nursing concepts and frameworks to clinical practice and research. Ideas, assumptions, events, people, and writings are examined for their influence, inter-relationships and significance to nursing. Types of reasoning will be evaluated within the context of nursing and health. Major theories, frameworks and concepts of nursing and health, and their implication for research will be discussed. The focus of the course will be on development of critical thinking skills in analyzing key elements of philosophies, concepts and conceptual frameworks.
Reading/analyzing case study pitch documents. Writing assignments (Pitch Document). Reading and critiquing the writing assignments of other students. Watching and critiquing the live pitch of the writing assignments of other students. Live pitch of the writing assignments to TV producers and executives. Like the other Writing for the Screen sections (Feature, Pilot, Revision) will provide an alternative to Screenwriting 3, Screenwriting 4 and Revision for Creative Producing Students. This course is designed to mirror a professional television development process, from both the writer’s perspective and that of a development executive/producer.

This one year palliative and end of life care clinical fellowship will provide the post-clinical DNP graduate with a comprehensive experience in clinical practice across sites. Fellows will rotate through inpatient, long term, community and home care settings where the focus will be pain and symptom management, quality of life, and bereavement care. A multidisciplinary team under the direction of CUSON faculty will integrate education, research, and innovative clinical programs into the delivery of palliative and end of life care for adult patients and their families. Fellows must commit to a minimum of two days per week in the clinical setting and classroom.

Prescribed for M.S. and Ch.E. candidates; elective for others with the approval of the Department. Degree candidates are required to conduct an investigation of some problem in chemical engineering or applied chemistry and to submit a thesis describing the results of their work. No more than 6 points in this course may be counted for graduate credit, and this credit is contingent upon the submission of an acceptable thesis. The concentration in pharmaceutical engineering requires a 2-point thesis internship.
