Thesis Proposal Preparation

3 Credits.

The CMDB Thesis Proposal Course is a writing intensive course designed to provide in-depth training in advanced scientific grant preparation. Throughout the semester, students engage in extensive writing assignments, critical scientific analysis of their thesis project and other classmates’ projects. Students will be expected to complete 5-6 hours of independent work (reading etc) outside of class to conduct writing analysis and revisions. Additionally, the course incorporates peer reviews, iterative assignments, and individual feedback directly from the Professor to develop what can be part of a chapter of the PhD graduate thesis dissertation.
