3.5 COURSE SYLLABI, TEXTBOOKS, AND ONLINE DISCUSSIONS
Course syllabi are made available online approximately August 1 and December 1 for the October and March seminars respectively. Syllabi will not be made available prior to these dates.
Doctoral students are expected to be on the cutting edge of knowledge, not the trailing edge. Therefore, current editions of multiple edition textbooks are used in the research seminars. Although older editions of textbooks are cheaper, doctoral students will be expected to know the information in the current edition.
Foundational research online discussions start September 1 and February 1 for the October and March seminars respectively. Discussions pause one week before the on-campus seminars and one week after the on-campus seminars.
