Since such a large part of graduate training is spent on one-on-one time with mentors and in discussion-based seminar courses, I'd be curious to hear evidence showing that online students are held to the same standards in their coursework- that seems impossible to demonstrate or even to test. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 10:51 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: Re: [tips] Walden University Offers New Bachelor of Science Degree Programs i...
My degree is still in progress. On teaching interviews, this so far not has been an issue. Although the coursework is online, we do have 500 face to face residency hours with faculty members from the University at various areas throughout the country. These hours enable us to attend workshops on clinical skills, as well as preparing for our dissertations. We are held to the same standards in our coursework as other doctoral students.

What questions do interviewers have for you and how do you respond to them?

The required courses are similar to those at land-based Universities. We do have to conduct empirical research for our dissertation which could either be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods.
