Thesis Defense ((1))

Catalog description

Final preparation for the Thesis Defense. This should only be taken after the Thesis demonstrates originality, critical and independent thinking, appropriate organization and format, and thorough documentation, and readiness for oral defense. Activities vary depending on topic, though all Thesis Defense classes include review and revision of the presentation by the Thesis Advisor, an oral defense and an acceptance/pass or rejection/failure decision by the Thesis Committee. This is required for Master's students who select the Thesis option for their capstone. Offered on a credit, no-credit basis only. Students who receive the no-credit grade may repeat the course, although a subsequent rejection of Thesis Defense may result in dismissal from the program.
