=Introduction to Research Process=

Once you have enrolled in the EDUC 601 course, you will need to make arrangements to meet with your adviser. This should take place during the first week of the session. You will meet to present or propose a research plan, and to finalize due dates for particular research milestones. During your first meeting with your adviser, you should have completed a [|pre-proposal]. I will review the pre-proposal and will provide feedback regarding your preliminary plan and your proposed research questions. I will need an electronic version of the pre-proposal. Once you have completed the pre-proposal form and have gotten your research questions approved, you can begin or continue with the literature review process. It is recommended that 30 primary references (minimum) appear in the literature review. The following table summarizes the general progress you will take as you progress through the research process with me as your adviser. The time necessary to progress through the research process is variable, and you must be patient with yourself and the process. The research process is very complex, dynamic, and creative. Predicting how quickly you progress is very difficult and may not be entirely appropriate. Focus on the process.
