CARMA for Credit Summer 2025

Overview:

As part of CARMA’s goal to be a Partner in Doctoral Training and Faculty Development for your school, we are excited to announce our new CARMA for Credit Summer 2025 Program. It is developed to enrich the learning experience for our Short Course participants and to support doctoral students wanting to receive independent study credit from their school for their CARMA activity. This program provides instructional resources for Short Course participants, including reading lists, on-line assessments, and on-line discussion groups. There is no extra charge to participants for this Program beyond the normal short course registration fee.

Design and Implementation:

CARMA for Credit 2025 has a modular design in which doctoral students select the amount of independent study credit from their school they want to receive (from 1 – 3 credit hours), and the specific Short Courses they will take to receive the credit. Each credit is designed to reflect the 16 hours of contact time of each of our Short Courses, consistent with guidelines used at most universities. Content can be selected at both introductory and advanced levels.

Each Short Course session is equivalent to one credit hour. Students seeking only one credit hour will enroll in one Short Course from the session of their choosing. Those who want to earn two credit hours must select courses from two of the three available sessions. Students seeking three credit hours will take a course in both Session I and Session II and receive free registration for Session III: Open Science and Replication Studies. Upon paid registration for Sessions I and II, the student will receive a coupon code via email to register for Session III at no cost.

In addition to the normal Short Course registration process, doctoral students wanting to participate will use a separate CARMA for Credit Summer 2025 Program Registration Form soon to be available on this website. The form will describe the Program, the responsibilities of both CARMA and the student. The student will identify a faculty member at their school who will serve as their Instructor of Record and approve the student’s participation in the Program. The signed form will be returned to CARMA, and we will document the student’s participation and performance. When all requirements are met CARMA will notify the Instructor of Record who will then assign the grade at their school for the independent study.

This program also provides instructional resources for Short Course participants, including reading lists, online discussion groups, and online assessments.

Online assessments are available after course completion and consist of 20 multiple-choice questions. These assessments are open-book and can be completed using course materials. The questions are designed so that students who attend and engage with the class presentations and activities can successfully complete the assessment. A perfect score (100%) is expected, with opportunities provided to retake any missed questions for continued learning and mastery.

Short Course Details:

A student may take only one course each session, as they are offered concurrently. Each course is approximately 16 hours of contact time (4 days, Monday – Thursday, 4 hours each). Courses are at introductory and advanced levels, on quantitative and qualitative topics. Any courses can be used for the CARMA for Credit program. Several two-course sequences are available (e.g. introductory and advanced SEM).

Those seeking three credit hours, register for Sessions I & II and receive Session III for free! Upon paid registration of Sessions I & II, you will be emailed a coupon code to register for Session III for free.
