What you’ll be able to do

  • Select, apply, and interpret quantitative and qualitative methods for data analysis to include basic descriptive, correlational, and inferential quantitative statistics and analysis and synthesis of qualitative data.

  • Critique quantitative and qualitative research in order to analyze and evaluate scholarly activities, which contribute to the development of a body of knowledge including level of evidence, validity of research studies, strength of the methodology, and relevance to the profession of occupational therapy.

  • Locate, select, analyze, and evaluate scholarly literature to make evidence-based decisions.

  • Design and implement a scholarly study that aligns with current research priorities and advances knowledge translation, professional practice, service delivery, or professional issues (e.g., Scholarship of Integration, Scholarship of Application, Scholarship of Teaching and Learning).

  • Create scholarly reports appropriate for presentation or for publication in a peer reviewed journal that support skills of clinical practice. The reports must be made available to professional or public audiences.

About this comparison

1280 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.

Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
