Revised
The
justification for changing the number of times the Preliminary Exam can be
taken is to avoid wasting the time of students who won't ever pass.
This is just
a program change anyhow, but the catalog needs to reflect this
change.
Under A. Departmental
General Requirements, 3. Preliminary Exam (last sentence).
REPLACE:
“The preliminary exam may be taken at most three times.”
BY: “The preliminary exam may be taken at most two times.”
The
justification for eliminating the Minor Requirement is that it used to be
a UD requirement but no longer is, and CIS doesn't want it.
The
justification for the PhD requirements to change the 12 hours to 6
is to place greater emphasis on early involvement in research,
and,
to make that possible, to have less emphasis on course work.
Proposed Associated Catalog Changes:
On Page 290 of the current 2003 catalogue under A. Departmental General Requirements, 1. Course Work (near the end)
1. REPLACE “Each candidate is required to complete a major and minor field of study based on a minimum of 12 additional credits beyond the master’s degree. These 12 additional credits do not include the following courses: CISC 666, CISC 866, CISC 868, CISC 969. Normally, in meeting the University’s requirement for a major and a minor area, a candidate will be required by the adviser to complete more than 12 credits.”
2. BY: “Each candidate is required to complete a minimum of 6 additional credits beyond the master’s degree. The 6 additional credits do not include the following courses: CISC 666, CISC 866, CISC 868, CISC 969. Normally, in meeting the University’s requirement for a major area, a candidate will be required by the adviser to complete more than 6 credits.”
