Examinations for M.A. in w88 mobile Languages and Literatures

Comprehensive written w88 mobile

Students pursuing either the thesis or non-thesis option must complete a comprehensive written w88 mobile, which covers material one might reasonably expect a candidate for the M.A. to know, as reflected in the reading list developed by the chair and the Spanish faculty member of the A-E committee in consultation with the student. To that end, students must be registered in the comprehensive w88 mobile course (WLL 795) during the semester in which they plan to take the exams (see the Deadlines & timeline for w88).

The committee evaluates whether the student has completed the written w88 mobile satisfactorily or unsatisfactorily. No more than one retake of the w88 mobile, in whole or in part, is allowed. Any retake must take place by the end of the subsequent semester and no later. If, after completing the written exam (and, if the written exam is satisfactory, the oral exam), a student earns a grade of unsatisfactory (U), in-progress (X), or incomplete (I) in the w88 mobile course (WLL 795), that grade, which is determined by the student's A-E committee, must be improved to satisfactory (S) during the immediately subsequent semester, or the Graduate School will remove the student from graduate standing.

Comprehensive oral w88 mobile

No student shall undergo the final oral w88 mobile unless and until all parts of the final written w88 mobile have been completed with a grade of satisfactory (S). Students who have satisfactorily completed all parts of the written comprehensive w88 mobile are required to undergo a comprehensive oral w88 mobile (lasting no more than two hours) scheduled and directed by the student's A-E committee chair. If the student is pursuing the M.A. with thesis, the w88 mobile shall include a defense of the thesis, as well as questions related to the student's reading list. If the student is pursuing the M.A. without thesis, the w88 mobile may, at the A-E committee chair's discretion, include a presentation by the student, on a topic previously agreed upon by the A-E committee chair and the student.

The A-E committee determines whether the student has completed the w88 mobile satisfactorily or unsatisfactorily. The committee may allow, at its sole discretion, no more than one retake of the oral w88 mobile, in whole or in part. Any retake, if allowed by the committee, must take place in the subsequent semester and no later.
