RES 603 trains the student in detailed project development, planning, and management skills and builds on the theoretical foundations of research methods laid out in RES 500. It is a classroom-based course focusing the student on the university requirements, research methods and project management skills as they relate to the completion of their master degree program at Western International University. The student's knowledge of statistical concepts will be strengthened through multiple regression analysis. The intended outcome of RES 603 is for students to confirm the topic of study and research question with assigned Thesis Advisors and to develop plans for the completion of the Applied Thesis. In addition, students will complete drafts of Thesis Chapters 1-3. Further, the course provides an overview of the entire Applied Thesis project and addresses student questions and concerns. During RES 603, students are required to evaluate an Applied Thesis Presentation recording. Prerequisites: Graduate prerequisite requirements and RES 500 or 500A
