Your choice of topic will be evaluated at several points during the Culminating Project process, using the following additional criteria:
|
Originality How innovative is this proposal; i.e., does this submission progress knowledge on this subject? Would the proposal lead to original findings, or do conceptual arguments provide a new perspective on established thinking? |
Highly original | Somewhat original | Slightly original | Not original | Not applicable/ unsure |
|
Clarity How clear and logically structured is the writing? |
Very clear | Somewhat clear | Somewhat unclear | Very unclear | |
|
Relevance How relevant is the proposal to the identified needs of the target population? |
Highly relevant | Somewhat relevant | Slightly relevant | Not relevant | Unsure |
Should the student decide to change the topic with research question(s) or hypothesis(es) by the time they enroll in DBH 9101, they must seek approval for the changes with the CP Committee NO LATER than the first week of enrollment in DBH 9101.
