A word on course deficiencies

[Guest guest]

Hello again CATs!

I heard a rumor last week that I wanted to comment upon. Apparently, if we

are missing a course, such as Research (which many of us seem to be), there

is a chance that we may not have to take it after all.

Some applicants have made the argument that their thesis should count toward

the requirement. Hamilton states, " The Department has not made such a

determination at this time. "

So, that seems to say that there's a chance this may be acceptable. If you

would like to make this argument, make sure that you submit some sort of

letter from a professor stating that your thesis should count for that

requirement. Make sure you supply the information required (Form 2, syllabi,

etc.) so that the department can evaluate your education. Again, if there

are deficiencies they will have to notify you.

Hamilton also states:

" When we start reviewing the education we may have other questions that need

to be addressed in a systemic manner as well. I will be discussing the

remedies and problems with our Comparative Education Bureau to address these

and similar issues. "

My advice for now on such issues:

Be brave, creative, and thorough.

Have a joyous memorial day weekend!
