Recognized by the National Council of Teachers of English as a Finalist in the Marjorie Elvolve Award for outstanding performance in the teaching of English, Dr. Lynch’s most recent professional experience spans 12 years guiding graduate students at Molloy College in a year-long Action Research Experience culminating in the defense of their Master’s Thesis. Originally published and copyrighted in 2008, this 6th edition of the handbook incorporates his continuing dialogues with students, colleague professors, and publishers. Using a prescriptive, template-driven approach to writing one’s thesis, he has successfully guided over 200 students through a rigorous capstone writing experience which has positively impacted on their post-thesis teaching goals and strategies. Additionally, his most cherished comment from a student reflecting on her growth as a writer was “I have to (hate to) admit it, but you’ve really taught me how to enjoy writing my thesis! Thank you.”
Ryan C. Welch, BA, MS
Ryan recently earned his Master’s of Science degree from Molly College and currently works for Nassau BOCES. At Molloy, Ryan learned first hand the value of action research framed within the context of the special education classroom. Attesting to his superior skills as a writer, the selection of Ryan by the senior author of this handbook attests not only to his skills but also to his understanding of the comprehensive nature of the thesis writing process. Ryan brings first-hand knowledge of the effectiveness of action research and the importance of a practical handbook that utilizes a prescriptive process to assist novice researchers to construct, implement, and react to a research project. Ryan’s future plans include writing about his research on the transformative nature of social studies and the use of metaphor to teach abstract concepts.view less
