The final draft is due to faculty 2 weeks prior to Candidacy Exam. The student is responsible for duplicating copies for the Graduate Faculty and one for the Department file. Comments must include completion of the Candidacy Literature Review Form and may include suggestions noted on the paper itself. The review form will be signed by the faculty member and returned along with the paper to the Program Secretary. Failure by faculty to return paper indicates acceptance of paper as written.
Students are free to discuss the comments and review form with faculty and other students.
Students who elect to revise should return all marked-up copies and review forms to the Program Secretary along with the final draft. These will be returned to the faculty member who completed the original review. These will be given to the student's adviser after the exam. The adviser will give the Program Secretary one copy of the final draft plus the Candidacy Literature Review Forms which will be placed in the student's file. Evaluation Candidacy is awarded on the basis of student performance in three areas.
