EDCI 590 is a requirement for students in the Track II M.Ed. program. Completion of the requirement involves two significant undertakings:

• The Proposal: Submitted one or two semesters before taking EDCI 590; Preparation of the proposal is itself a fairly demanding process involving formal writing, review of literature, and understanding of the research process. Detailed information about scheduling and writing of the proposal is contained in the Track II Student Handbook.
   
• The Project: During the semester that you are enrolled in EDCI 590, you conduct the research described in your proposal and write a formal research report. Your completed report will be archived in the CGPS Library.

It is important to remember that the information contained in the VIRC is primarily intended as guidance. The course is called "individual Research" for a reason--each project is different and the requirements are individualized depending on the student, the faculty advisor, and the design of the research. Therefore we have attempted to create a very general and basic resource on the VIRC. Some specific details not found here may be determined on an individual basis.

Your project advisor determine your grade and is the ultimate source for information on how to develop, write and format your proposal and project. Different project advisors may have different requirements than  the suggestions presented here. Nevertheless, the information here is based on faculty members' feedback on students' proposals during the proposal review process and from our own experiences while advising EDCI 590 students.
