SSCI 5050G - Professional Seminar


This is a professional development seminar with several objectives. First, the seminar is designed to provide all graduate students with an understanding of basic research issues in the areas of crime, law and justice. Second, students are introduced to the faculty members of the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities and their current research agendas. Third, students acquire knowledge and skills to aid them with completing their graduate degree and finding post-graduate employment or other university programs to continue their education. Thus, each week this course provides an in-depth discussion of current research, professional skill development and/or learning about current issues in setting goals both within the program and post completion. This course provides students with the opportunity to prepare a proposal for their major research paper/thesis under close supervision. Students share proposals with each other and provide commentary and feedback on each other’s work. This course is mandatory for all students and is graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory evaluation scale.
Credit hours: 3
