Description
COURSE DETAILS:
The purpose of EDUC 904 is to guide students in the MEd in Post-Secondary Educational Leadership in completing the capstone research projects they developed in EDUC 864. The pre-requisite for this course is an approved research proposal for the project that emerged from work in EDUC 864. Upon completion of this course, students will have successfully demonstrated the ability to pose a significant research question related to their practice, conceive and implement a well-structured plan for a research project that examines the question, and prepare a formal report. The course content will be tailored according to the group and individual needs of students as they complete the research reports.
Students will also be co-enrolled in EDUC 883 (Comprehensive Exam) during this term.
COURSE-LEVEL EDUCATIONAL GOALS:

These skills include: (a) data analysis and interpretation, (b) representation of research findings, (c) critical reflexivity, and (c) assessment of the significance, rigour, and practical implications of one's (and others') research.

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
