Cultivating Graduate-Level Assessment Skills through an "A+ Inquiry" Thesis Alternative
Nathan C. Anderson; Daniel R. Conn; Kaydra D. Weigel
Assessment Update, v37 n3 p1-2, 15-16 2025
The "A+ Inquiry" Capstone course has been taught at Minot State University every spring and fall term since the fall 2019 semester. Like a thesis, the course requires students to write a proposal paper describing their study, form a committee and propose their study to their committee, obtain Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, implement their study, write a final paper, and defend their study to their committee. Students have responded favorably to the course. The "A+ Inquiry" Capstone course is expected to continue being offered as a thesis alternative to Minot State University M.Ed. students.
