Evidence before assertion

Research & Capstone

The graduate distinction requires more than operational fluency. Learners critique literature, maintain reproducible analysis records, replicate or test a published result, formulate an original operationally relevant question, complete a capstone study and defend it orally.

Research Methods Spine

Question formation · literature synthesis · assumptions · sampling · reproducibility · uncertainty · ethical source use · versioning · replication.

Capstone Standard

A defensible research question tied to mesoscale/severe forecasting; transparent data provenance; appropriate quantitative methods; reproducible figures/results; limitations; operational significance; manuscript-style report; oral defense.

Research Mathematics

Statistics and Introduction to Proofs are core research companions. Real & Complex Analysis is recommended for the research-distinction route.
