History 601 is offered every Autumn. Colloquia The numerically predominant type of course in our graduate program is the readings course at the 600-level, often called a colloquium. Colloquia constitute the majority of the courses which a student completes, and it is in them that students develop the detailed understanding of the subject matter of their field.
Students can expect to write bibliographical essays as the primary grading instrument.
In these courses students conduct and present primary research projects. Bibliographical essays, specifically, do not meet the seminar requirement. Teaching Courses History 603 and 604 are courses for graduate students who are assisting professors in teaching undergraduate courses. Incomplete Grades University regulations specify that graduate students may receive extensions of the time available for the completion of course assignments beyond the end of the regular semester. The department is sensitive to the situation of our graduate students, but agrees with the intention of the university regulations.
