4. Stakeholders
4.1. Breve descripción de los Stakeholders
In order to progress to Year 2, all members of the student’s preliminary screening committee must review all criteria and confirm satisfactory progress in the preliminary evaluation.
Year 2: Research Competence (End of Spring Semester)
Students will be expected to be actively engaged in research from the beginning of their studies in Year 1. In Year 2, students will be expected to com- plete a comprehensive research project by the end of their second year of study. This project should en- compass all aspects of the research process, includ- ing the following:
• Conception and design of the project • Acquisition and reduction of the data • Analysis and interpretation of the data
• Written summary of the work (e.g. Submission ready manuscript)
• Oral presentation of the work
To progress to Year 3, the student’s MS/PhD advi- sory committee must approve the work.
Year 4: Comprehensive Examination
When the student has completed a minimum of ¾ of the course work (60 hours) contained in the program of study and completed the research skill require- ments, they are then eligible to take the comprehen- sive examinations. Each doctoral student is required to pass the doctoral preliminary examinations which consist of both a written and oral examination, per the guidelines of The Graduate School and the Depart- ment of Kinesiology.
