A graduate thesis is a traditional form. Thesis writing requires that students evaluate available information; analyze theories, policies, and practice; and synthesize ideas into a new coherent whole.
Throughout this semester course, you will be guided through the steps to develop your master’s thesis. The initial step in this process is to select your thesis topic. This should be comprehensive enough to merit graduate-level research. This step also involves the development and submission, in week 3 of a formal Thesis Proposal. The proposal will be evaluated by the course instructor, who will provide feedback and may request that the topic be modified to meet the requirements of the master’s thesis.
During this course, you will receive consistent feedback and suggestions from the course instructor in developing your thesis.
The thesis will be written in accordance with the Seventh Edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) manual. So, you may wish to purchase this manual as soon as possible.
