Overview of class

In the final course of the 3-term master's research project (MRP) sequence, students review and build upon MSHE 406 and MSHE 407 feedback on their literature review, data collection, and data summary sections. Students write a data interpretation leading to research conclusions, implications, limitations, recommendations, and abstract as they ultimately answer their MRP research question - all of which are included in their final research paper (typically ranging from 60-80 pages). Students also write a 2-page executive summary that describes their master's project, which can be shared with targeted audiences (e.g., op-eds, supervisors at internships and work settings, hiring managers) to easily disseminate the results of their research. At the end of the quarter, students present their final project to an audience of peers, faculty, and other guests for discussion. Students also explore, in a panel conversation with program alumni during the last class, how they can use their MRP to advance professionally (e.g., presentations at conferences, journal articles) and/or apply for doctoral programs (e.g., law school, PhD, EdD). 

Class Materials (Required)
