DSP DATA COLLECTION

Modular Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes:

• Case
  • Report progress of data collection for DSP Chair review.

Module Overview

Each module in this course is designed to facilitate the completion of sections of the DSP, complete data collection, and create a data analysis report.

Each module may have more than one task to complete. You may need to submit drafts more than once until a final version is approved. Each module may require the submission of multiple documents.

Differences between your 701 course and your 800 course

Some documents need to be uploaded into your 701 course and some documents need to be uploaded in your 701 and your 800 course.

• Documents uploaded into your 701 course show your progress made during this particular course in the session you took it.
• Documents uploaded into your 800 course show your progress made during your entire journey in the program.
• DSP progress needs to be uploaded in both places. Some documents need to be uploaded in multiple places.Communication is important

Please communicate frequently with your DSP chair, but remember that you can also reach out to other faculty and staff in the program. We are all here to help you achieve your academic goal.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact any of the following:

• Student Success Advisor
• DSP Chair
• Professor of Doctoral Studies
• Doctoral Studies Director

In the first week of this session:

1. Contact your DSP chair, re-establish the most appropriate communication media (email or phone), times, and frequency to accomplish the goals of this class.
