MPO 5300 Research Preparation
Research Preparation (1). This course builds upon foundational content from HSC 5006 Introduction to Research and Evidence-Based Practice to guide students in narrowing their focus to a specific scholarly study, meant to be carried out and completed in future courses MPO 6400 Research Execution and MPO 6500 Research Dissemination. In this semester, students will prepare their research by: reviewing and interpreting the literature to identify gaps in knowledge; formulating and proposing a research project that seeks to address a gap in knowledge; and assembling documentation for submission to the ASU Institutional Review Board. Students will work in groups to aim for research design and methods that are feasible, but will also brainstorm alternative approaches that could be employed if time and resources were less constrained.
Prerequisite
