Written Evaluation

Prior to a student undertaking the qualifying examination, the Advisory Committee must provide a written evaluation of the student's performance in the PhD program and potential as a researcher. This evaluation must be signed by all members of the Advisory Committee, and must accompany the request by the student for the qualifying examination. To allow sufficient time for the Advisory Committee to evaluate the student, the written evaluation normally should not be completed before the end of the second semester.

Components of the Qualifying Examination

The qualifying examination has four components:

A written evaluation prepared by the Advisory Committee of the quality of the student's performance to date in research, and of the student's potential as a researcher.
