Instructions for the Phenomenon of Interest (POI) Topic Selection
First: Review the ‘Importance of the Phenomenon of Interest’ video
Next: Identify a POI that you can examine from a philosophical, theoretical and ethical
perspective, as this will be your topic the entire semester
Finally: Perform a basic literature search to determine if there is sufficient literature (topic is not
too narrow) and not too much literature (topic is too broad)
Your Phenomenon of Interest (POI) topic should be submitted to this Forum for faculty review
and approval.
A phenomenon of interest (POI) as related to NU 607 can be a topic that you have been
examining in other courses, or it can be a completely different topic. Regardless, you want to select a POI topic you are passionate or curious about, and one that relates specifically to your
area of specialty practice with sufficient current (5 years), peer-reviewed literature to explore.
Choose a topic for which you are passionate or curious,
Students may seek approval on the same topic used in another course, but it is not guaranteed
that approval in a prior course will assure approval in this course as the focus and requirements
are unique to 607.
Your Primary Instructor will be responsible for approving your POI topic selection in NU 607.
