Subject: Ed Tech Graduate Student Spring 2001 Course Advisory
Greetings to all ed tech graduate students at the University of Delaware!
I'm writing to provide you with course scheduling advice for the upcoming
Spring semester of 2001. As always, you should check with your advisor
each semester to confirm that your course selection is in line with your
particular program. This course advisory contains sections for M.Ed.
Students, M.I. Students, and Ed.D. Students, respectively.
===Courses for M.Ed. Students===
All M.Ed. students are required to take 3-6 credits of the following
research courses; during Spring 2001, all three are being offered:
EDUC 600 Teacher as Researcher
EDUC 607 Educational Research Procedures
EDUC 660 Applied Educational Measurement
All M.Ed. students must take the following curriculum theory course, which
is being offered during Spring 2001:
EDUC 640 Introduction to Curriculum
>From the ed tech specialty, all M.Ed. students must take the following two
courses that are being offered in the Spring of 2001:
EDUC 685 Multimedia Literacy
EDUC 632 Using the Internet for Curriculum Applications
If you are looking to take an ed tech elective in the spring of 2001, you
may be interested in the following option. With the permission of the
advisor, M.Ed. students may elect one of the EDUC 885 courses to fulfill a
600-level technology requirement, but such a course cannot be counted
again in a subsequent doctoral program. In the spring of 2001, the
following course is being offered:
EDUC 885 Advanced Web Design & Development
As a special bonus, master's students should also be aware that during the
winter session, EDUC 639 is being taught on the topic of developing
interactive educational materials. This course counts as part of the ed
tech specialization electives for the master's degree.
===M.I. Students===
M.I. students must take either EDUC 600 (Teacher as Researcher) or EDUC
629 (Psychology of Teaching). Of these two courses, EDUC 600 is being
offered in the Spring of 2001.
M.I. students must take either EDUC 658 (Discipline and Classroom
Management) or EDUC 681 (Techniques for Behavior Change). In the
Spring of 2001, EDUC 658 is being offered.
M.I. students must take either EDUC 627 (Models of Instruction) or
EDUC 640 (Introduction to Curriculum). During the Spring of 2001,
both of these courses are being offered.
All M.I. students must take the following technology courses that are
being offered in the Spring of 2001:
EDUC 685 Multimedia Literacy
EDUC 632 Using the Internet for Curriculum Applications
If you are looking to take an ed tech elective in the spring of 2001, you
may be interested in the following option. With the permission of the
advisor, M.I. students may elect one of the EDUC 885 courses to fulfill a

===Ed.D. Students===
All Ed.D. students are required to take either EDUC 860, Curriculum:
Research, Theory, and Development, or EDUC 897, Curriculum Inquiry. In the
spring of 2001, EDUC 897 is being offered.
All Ed.D. students are required to take EDUC 861 (Curriculum Planning and
Practice) and EDUC 829 (Research on Teaching). Of these two curriculum
courses, EDUC 861 is being offered in the Spring of 2001.
Similarly, all Ed.D. students are required to take either EDUC 665,
Elementary Statistics or EDUC 856, Introduction to Statistical Inference.
In the spring of 2001, EDUC 665 is being offered.
All Ed.D. students must take six credits of the following group:
EDUC 862, Quantitative Issues in Educational Research
EDUC 812, Regression Models in Education
EDUC 851, Practicum in Qualitative Methods
EDUC 863, Principles of Program Evaluation
EDUC 891, Management Applications of Research
Of these, the following are being offered in the Spring of 2001:

Last, but certainly not least, all Ed.D. students are required to take 18
credits of ed tech specialty courses. The following courses are being
offered in Spring 2001:
EDUC 885-011 Advanced Web Design (Newark)
EDUC 885-158 Advanced Web Design (FOCUS)
EDUC 885-435 Advanced Web Design (Georgetown ITV)
As explained at http://www.udel.edu/fth/edd/completing.html, doctoral
students who have completed all of their coursework must enroll in either
EDUC 964, Pre-Candidacy Study or EDUC 969, Thesis. You enroll in EDUC 964
until such time as you pass the qualifying exam, and then you enroll in
EDUC 969 after that, for a total of 12 thesis credits.
In the meantime, I hope you will all pass your final exams and projects
with flying colors and then enjoy a pleasant holiday season. Cheers, Fred
