If the appeal is granted, the QE committee remains the same for the second attempt. If the advisor changes between the first and second attempts if appeal is approved , the two other committee members remain the same. If a student fails the second time if appeal is granted the student is no longer in the PhD program. Any extenuating circumstances may be brought up to the QESC by the advisor. The exam will be 90 minutes long. The student will be asked to give a short presentation minutes on a research topic chosen by the advisor and the student.
It cannot be a conference paper submitted by the student AND it cannot have any author other than the student taking the exam. The presentation will be followed by 15 minutes of questioning by each member, followed by a second round of final questions. The committee will ask questions: a directly about the research topic presented as would be typical at a conference , and b in the general area of the research topic to test the student's grasp of the problem area and will be on fundamentals testing the student's ability to integrate the material learned in the courses they took, the ability to apply their knowledge to solve research problems; and these questions do not have to be associated with the presentation.
The student will supply 3 undergraduate courses most aligned with their research topic they are presenting when they submit their QE registration form.
It is expected that the student answers the questions on their own without the assistance of the advisor. The advisor should not assist the student in preparation of the presentation and the paper see below. At least one week prior to the oral presentation, the student will provide a four-page two-column document, in the standard format for conferences in their area, to all committee members.
This write-up will be a written version of the oral presentation. The quality of the written component is expected to be ready for submission and should be clear, well organized, and free of spelling and grammar errors. The advisor should not assist the student in preparation of the paper —it should be independent work.
