Building on the work you have done in EDUC 719, in EDUC 904, we will explore more in-depth the various tenants of data analysis required for conducting research into our practice. Students will be working through various phases of their own research projects, from research proposal and ethics to data collection to data analysis and report writing. In practical terms, EDUC 904-5: Fieldwork III is the opportunity for each student to complete the design, execution, and write up of their research project addressing the research topic that is personally important and relevant to his/her professional work.

Registrar Notes:
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS
SFU’s Academic Integrity website 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
RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION
Students with a faith background who may need accommodations during the semester are encouraged to assess their needs as soon as possible and review the Multifaith religious accommodations website. The page outlines ways they begin working toward an accommodation and ensure solutions can be reached in a timely fashion.
