MDHM 905 - The Joy of Scholarly Writing: Beginning the Dissertation Process

3 credits
Students embark on their individual dissertation journeys.  Specifically, students will choose and refine their dissertation topics and initiate research into that choice. Reviews research skills and resources related to the various fields represented by the students/topics in the course.  Early writing assignments will build towards composing a prospectus draft, and then an extended 20-page piece of scholarly writing related to their dissertation topics (shaped  by Caspersen School guidelines).  Students benefit from both sustained individual attention to their research and writing, along with group workshops.  The work may foster individualized, imaginative approaches to scholarly writing, as well as solid critical thinking and perspectives on research materials and methods.
