• Reading:  

  • It is time for our great adventures to end--at least for now. Pull together a cybernetic-based research portfolio using the topic you have been working with for the past 14 modules. There are many guides for research proposals, including several books on your additional recommended readings list in the course syllabus.

• Lecture:  

  • Use the following framework, if you are not satisfied with any other formats (adapted from University of Georgia): http://pirate.shu.edu/~collinjo/edas7770/proposal.htm

    Alternatively, use the first three chapters of the Departmental rubric:

    Dr. Elaine Walker's Dissertation Review Form Revised for Research Design

    or the Proposal Outline in the course syllabus is provided again:

    Proposal Outline

  • For those needing the dissertation rubric in future classes and dissertation development:

    Dr. Elaine Walker's Dissertation Review Form

     

  • Or consider these documents: http://www.emory.edu/EDUCATION/mfp/proposal.html

•   Activities:  

  • Complete the online end of course evaluation survey at  this link: End of Course Survey

     

    The password is survey (notice all lower case letters) and has been set to be TOTALLY anonymous.

     

  • Remember to use higher order thinking skills: analysis, evaluation and synthesis. Incorporate the sources you found along the way--should be about 15-20 references. If you need to have the APA citation format for cybernetics use this link: http://www.apastyle.org/elecref.html
  • Email your final project and journal to Dr. Collins at: collinjo@shu.edu by May 2, 2006 (sooner would be better :-)
  •  Upon sending your portfolio, you have successfully completed one of the first courses on this topic in Seton Hall University...Well done!

Use these newly learned skills and proficiencies in all of your future cybernetic endeavors!
