BA-DC807A: Project Critique 1a: Proposal to Data Analysis

Overview

The goal of this DBA Project critique course is twofold: first, to introduce the cohort of students to the collegial process of peer consultancy in reviewing their work as well as their cohort members in the review of the work on their DBA Project. Secondly, to provide support and review for their actual data collection for their DBA Project.

During this term students who have received official approval from their DBA Project Supervisor and committee will begin the process of completing their data collection.  The goal for the students in this term is to successfully gather all appropriate data for their DBA Project.  Should they not successfully complete this phase in the given timeframe, they will register in this course the following term.

Students will present their own findings, as well as critique the presentations of their fellow cohort members through the data collection phase of the DBA Project process.  By doing so the students will gain insight and practice of how to pass the oral presentations required in the DBA Project process.
