Ed.D. in T&L dissertation committees
From WikEd
As a first step in collaboratively forming a committee, please send me an email with:
- a list of at least two or three Ed.D. in Teaching and Learning faculty members, any of which you'd be willing to have serve as your dissertation advisor (or some other UCSD faculty that has a strong interest in your research).
In making your choices, be sure to go to the web pages for the people if you're not very familiar with them (or you could "google" them) to see what their interests and areas of expertise are.
If there is anyone that you definitely do NOT want as your advisor, please let me know that also (I'll keep that information confidential).
If you can provide reasons for your choices, that will also help in this collaborative process.
Here's what the TEP Ed.D. in Teaching and Learning proposal (as approved) says about dissertation committees:
"A dissertation committee of four or more members shall be appointed by the Dean of Graduate Studies under the authority of the Graduate Council. At least four of the committee members shall be officers of instruction and no fewer than three shall hold professorial titles (of any rank). Each committee must include one tenured or emeritus UCSD faculty member from outside the Teacher Education Program, and at least two other members of the committee shall be UCSD faculty.
Because a broad range of fields provide conceptual and methodological frameworks relevant to scholarly work in teaching and learning, Ed.D. candidates will have the option of drawing upon faculty from a number of disciplines to serve on their Dissertation Committee. The Dissertation Committee will work with the candidate and will be responsible for approving the proposal and the final dissertation, assuring its conformance with guidelines developed by the program, UCSD Ed.D. dissertation requirements, and University of California graduate degree requirements."
