Program of Study -- Stage 1 Plan
1. Advisor(s) and other advisory committee members
In this field, name your primary advisor (or co-advisors) -- i.e. the person
(or people) you specified at the AdvisingFest, who should now be listed as
your advisor(s) of record on your advising report. (You can see your advising
report at http://www.ureg.ohio-state.edu/Indexes/current.html.) Also list any
other faculty who have agreed to vouch for your program of study -- e.g., the
faculty who are responsible for a contract template ("track") you are using
or the group of faculty who you assembled for your AdvisingFest meeting --
differentiating the name(s) of your advisor(s) by underlining.
2. Area(s) of specialization
Give a one-word or short-phrase descriptor of (each of) your primary area(s)
of specialization - e.g., "syntax", "historical linguistics and sociophonetics",
"computational linguistics and sentence processing". Do the same for your
secondary area of specialization, if this notion is relevant for your program
of study.]
3. Coursework
Use the table provided to list the courses that you have taken or plan to
take in your first years on the program. At this stage, the courses for
year 3 will necessarily be only a preliminary list, but the schedule
should include the complete list of entry-level courses that you have
designated as relevant to preparing yourself to engage in primary research
in your area(s) of specialization. Identify these in the table somehow
(e.g., by putting an asterisk or a subscript "e" following the course number).
Except in exceptional circumstances, these should be courses that you can
complete by the end of your second year, and any exceptional circumstances
should be explained in a note below the table. Also, if the table of courses f
or your first two years does not include all four core courses (i.e., 602.01,
603.01, 611 or 661.01, and 600.01 or 615), make a note following the table
explaining why. For example, did you "test out" of a core course by submitting
the syllabus for a course taken elsewhere, which the faculty responsible for
teaching that core course deemed to be equivalent to the OSU course? Or did
your advisory committee approve your postponing one of the core courses in
order to take a seminar relevant to your specialization that would not be
offered again in time?
4. Portfolio
Specify what will be in the portfolio for your program of study. Since your
advisory committee uses the portfolio as part of the defense of the suitability
of your stage 2 contract, the portfolio needs to be something that you can submit
by the end of your second year. In several of the standard templates ("tracks"),
the portfolio consists of a very rough first draft of the written version of the
2nd-Year Paper.
Second-Year Paper
Give a short, preliminary description of the research that you plan to report
on in your 2nd-Year Paper. Also describe any program-specific requirements
that you and your committee have agreed to regarding its content. For example,
should it demonstrate a facility in experimental design? Should it incorporate
a large amount of primary data that you elicited from a language consultant or
extracted from an online corpus?
