Mr. Rose explained how the incomplete grades are handled on campus. Dr. Zagumny asked Mr. Rose if he knew the majors of those 58 students. Mr. Rose explained that he did not have an exact count, but a majority of the students were psychology majors. Most of the psychology majors' incomplete grades are for PSY 493, which is the senior thesis course. Dr. Zagumny explained that the way the catalog is written for that course, students may take up to six credit hours of senior thesis.
Most students take that over the course of two semesters.
He explained that approximately forty students are registered for the senior thesis course this semester. A good portion will receive incompletes for this semester and finish the thesis next semester. Ms. Tolbert asked if there was a way to split out the course. The department does not want students registering for six credit hours in one semester. Mr. Rose stated that he still does not understand the process.
