Module 1 (May 31-June 12)

Module 1 provides a foundation for subsequent modules in this Doc Seminar 1 course and for the program as a whole. Its time frame is the two weeks of online work before we come together on campus for the residency and is designed to facilitate the start of thoughtful consideration of this journey we call "the doctoral program."

Module 2 (June 14-July 1) [not linked for Demo class]

Module 2 offers opportunities to continue to examine the doctoral process and the student role within that through discussion and group activity. A library workshop is also scheduled to ensure student success in utilizing CSM's library resources to become good consumers of research and other academic literature.

Module 3 (June 26-July 24) [not linked for Demo class]

Module 3 continues the theme of successfully navigating the doctoral process, but adds a more academic emphasis. Reflection and discussion are designed to build on students' thought processes thus far regarding their involvement and success in the program. Also building on earlier modules is the article summary/critique activity. The time frame for this module overlaps slightly with Module 2 but ends July 24th.
