<p> Thesis Proposal Defense Report Department of Psychology Name of Student: ______Defense Date: ______Defense outcome (circle one): Pass Conditional Pass Fail</p><p>Description of outcomes: 1. Pass: You are free to move forward with your data collection. Even when students pass, it is common for changes to be requested as a condition of passage. If these changes include making changes to the literature review, these updates may be reflected in the 1st draft of the final proposal that you submit to your advisor during Thesis II. If these changes involve changes to the method, these should be incorporated into the IRB proposal and the study you conduct. 2. Conditional pass: You will not be required to have to schedule a 2nd defense, but will not be allowed to move forward with the project without addressing substantive concerns posed by the committee. Before submitting your project to the IRB and collecting your data, you must provide a revised product that addresses the concerns of your committee. 3. Fail: Your committee will give you feedback that you aren’t ready to defend your thesis and will advise you to reschedule a defense when you are more prepared. If you are staying in touch with your committee members, this outcome is fairly rare.</p><p>All changes required of students should either be noted on a draft of the thesis document that the committee member has marked up OR noted below (use back if necessary):</p><p>Student Signature: ______Advisor’s signature: ______Committee member’s signature: ______Committee member’s signature: ______2-a</p><p>Graduate Studies Thesis Topic & Mechanical Style Signature Page</p><p>Any study/survey involving Lipscomb students/employees must be approved by the Office of the Provost prior to IRB approval.</p><p>If human subjects are involved in this research, a copy of the IRB (Institutional Review Board or Departmental Review Board) approval MUST accompany this form.</p><p>Candidate’s Name: ______(Last) (First) (Middle)</p><p>Program: ______</p><p>Thesis Title: ______</p><p>______</p><p>Projected Term of Thesis completion: ______</p><p>Mechanical style guide to be used: ______</p><p>Thesis Committee approval date: ______</p><p>Signatures: (Signatures indicate agreement with title and mechanical style.)</p><p>Chair: ______</p><p>Member: ______</p><p>Member: ______</p><p>Member: ______</p><p>Alternate: ______</p><p>Student: ______</p><p>Date received in Associate Provost for Graduate Studies office: ______</p><p>A fee of $50.00 will be charged when the student registers for the second thesis course.
