RE: EDUC 899-10 Minor Course change and Doctoral Program changes
DATE: 2013 Julv 8
For consideration, please find attached a minor course change for EDUC 899-10.
Doctoral Thesis, and resultant calendar changes to doctoral programs. The Education
Graduate Studies Committee on May 30, 2013, and the Faculty of Education Council
approved these changes on June 24, 2013.
Rationale for proposed EDUC 899-10 minor course change:
Education doctoral programs are research programs, and students are admitted based
upon research interests and deemed match with faculty expertise. Students should be
expected to begin their research upon admission to a program and continue
throughout. Enrolment in EDUC 899-10 enables and encourages students to develop a
draft research work plan early in their program and enables supervisors to establish
productivity expectations, feedback and guidance earlier, hence increasing the
likelihood of timely completion of all program requirements.
We are requesting these changes take effect Summer 2014.
