The revised KAM IV differs from the standard KAM model. KAM IV consists of three components, each of which treats a specific research methodology topic. Component descriptions for each program appear in the preceding program chapters. Each KAM IV component seminar is one quarter in duration.
Faculty members guide discussions, require specific readings, and evaluate assignments.
This on-line seminar is interdisciplinary and must be completed within three full quarters of enrollment. The second and third KAM IV components are discipline specific. Students must complete these components successfully before submitting a dissertation proposal. Registration instructions and the schedule for KAM IV components appear on the University Web site. Instructors facilitate seminar activities based on assigned readings and topics posted in the syllabus at the beginning of the quarter.
