Qualifying Exam Practicum

Catalog description

This class is meant to guide students as they prepare their bibliographies and works lists (if applicable) for their qualifying exams. We will discuss how best to address the broad topics they have chosen for their exams, and the manner in which they can begin to focus their research to an achievable list, one that they will craft with input from their exam committee. Beginning with the key works in their areas, they will be shown how best to expand the list to include current literature, and how to prioritize what should and should not be on the list.
