A mid-term report on your work in progress is also due for submission to the Chair when classes resume in January. They will meet to discuss the final grade, which must be submitted to the registrar in April. The Second Reader may also provide you with written comments on your thesis draft. Toward the end of March, the Department convenes a seminar to enable Thesis writers to present the results of their work to a general audience of fellow students and faculty. Traditionally, these sessions have been quite informal, aimed at giving researchers an opportunity to take 15-20 minutes each to describe the topic, approach, key findings and conclusions.
Discussion follows and coffee is served throughout.
This is not related to the grading process. Any corrections or revisions can be done at this time, and a final clean copy should be submitted to the Department. This will be bound and placed in the St. F.X. Library Collection.
