GSMD 612: Thesis Proj Sem II - Devel.

This course will support students' work towards the formation of their design thesis document. Development and linkage of research questions, research strategies, theories, methods, approaches and practice will be addressed. Workshop exercises, class lectures and discussion will cover key elements including means of framing and considering research through literature review, case studies and reflective writing practices. Students will practice these techniques and use their own research to inform a coherent, well documented and persuasive argument in support of their research project. As the seminar progresses the identification and selection of style and language appropriate to individual projects will be addressed.
