5.2 Comprehensive Examinations Grading Process
Once students have completed the qualifying exams, the Program Director distributes the completed exams to the faculty members who taught the courses. The faculty members each grade the exam questions pertaining to their areas of expertise. The faculty members then return the graded exams to the Program Director, who informs the students whether or not they have passed the exams. Students who fail an exam may be given one opportunity to retake the exam.
