This course is intended for PhD students who are engaged in relevant scholarly activities that are associated with dissertation research.
Techniques of Governance and Institutional Perimeters: This course discusses the method of governance and political-legal institutions of one of the best-documented Bronze-Age states in world history: Western Zhou (1045-771 BCE). By clarifying the essential features of the Zhou institutions and bringing to light the workings of its government, the course provides key to understanding the long duration or China as both a political state and a civilization.
A candidate for the doctorate may be required to register for this course every term after the students coursework has been completed and until the dissertation has been accepted.
The course is intended for PhD students who are engaged in relevant scholarly activities that are not associated with the required course sequence. Such activities must accrue more than 20 hours/week.
Provides students the opportunity to present draft dissertation proposals and draft dissertation chapters.
Prerequisites: the instructors permission. Guided individual research.
The goal of this course is to help students improve their writing for journal publication. Topics will include strategies for constructing an article; for keeping the manuscript moving forward; and for improving the quality of the student’s writing. Students must be actively working on a manuscript for publication, and must be willing to commit to a minimum of 10 minutes of writing per day. Additional work will include short reading and writing assignments throughout the term, and a small number of peer-review sessions outside of class. The course will be discussion oriented and taught in seminar style and will meet once per week for 1.5 hrs.
This course is designed to provide the tools for the doctorally prepared nurse to evaluate, translate and integrate published research results into clinical practice. During the course, students will learn how to conceptualize clinical practice problems and transform them into answerable clinical research questions, how to search for the best clinical evidence, and how to assess clinical evidence using basic epidemiological, biostatistical and scientific principles. The course will culminate in a systematic review or meta-analysis of a body of research relevant to advanced practice nursing.
This doctoral course provides comprehensive, critical training in the full spectrum of literature synthesis methodologies used in nursing and health sciences research. Students gain the knowledge and skills to design, conduct, critically appraise, and report a range of review methodologies, including systematic, scoping, integrative, qualitative, and mixed-methods reviews. Emphasis is placed on reproducible search strategies, standardized reporting (e.g., PRISMA), protocol development, and evaluation of bias and strength of evidence. This course will equip students with the foundational knowledge and skills needed to begin their dissertation evidence synthesis; advanced application will be developed through subsequent dissertation work.
