content: These files cover a small portion of Karp's work with a small set of his students. The only non-Emory student represented here is a file of comments on Indiana student Robert Leopold's draft dissertation in 1991. The group of Emory students included in the subfolder -- Yanique Hume, Eric Lindland, Julie Livingston, Mike McGovern, Sara Melton, Joey Orr, Pete Richardson, Angela Ragan, Aruna Ramachandran, Yaya Ren, Ana Schaller de la Cova – represent a small fraction of the students he worked with at Emory. The file "Pandey message" concerns Emory student Aruna Ramachandran. They are mostly comments on dissertations, proposals and papers as well as the qualifying exams for a couple of students whose committees Karp chaired. A couple of files are documents that students had sent to him for comments. Some files represent his continued engagement with students years after they finished, e.g. a couple of files are book prospectuses written by former students that were sent to him for comments.

Karp wrote vastly more sets of comments for many more students, but before Emory it seems most were in hard copy (not present in this collection) and/or conveyed in conversations and meetings. This was also the case for the many students Karp worked with at Emory, including those represented in this folder. In his last ten years (at least), Karp also sent a lot of comments to students in email messages.

See also the "Recs" folder in Subseries: Recommendations and Reviews, where more of Karp's students are represented.
