GLOB HTH 711 / Scholarly Paper

6 unit(s)

This half-course is designed as an opportunity for graduate course-based M.Sc. students to demonstrate in writing, their ability to integrate ideas that reflect current knowledge in Global Health. The scholarly paper is to determine integrative thinking at a general and abstract level. A student will identify a topic, and in consultation, with a faculty member with expertise in the area, develop a proposal that is individualized to the student’s area of interest. The student will then develop the paper under the guidance of a faculty member. The paper must be 15 to 20 single-spaced pages excluding references and appendices. The paper does not necessarily involve the collection or analysis of primary data or the conduct of research with subjects. It is a scholarly essay, not a thesis. It is critical to the course-based M.Sc. students to demonstrate mastery of the theoretical and methodological understandings that have been acquired during the course work.
