Culminating Exam
Comprehensive Exam Description - The comprehensive examination is designed to provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to integrate and apply both their didactic and practice-oriented academic experiences.Comprehensive Exam Subject - Students are given one broad question to respond to in a 4-hour period of time. Questions are designed to assess a combination of theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as legal and ethical issues.Comprehensive Exam Complete - Students are eligible to complete the comprehensive examination after all of the required coursework has been completed.Comprehensive Exam Write - Faculty members rotate on an annual basis with regard to writing the comprehensive examination question and scoring the responses.Comprehensive Exam Grade - Faculty members independently score each examination response using a 5-point Likert scale. All responses are graded anonymously. Any student(s) who writes an exemplary response receives a "pass with distinction."Comprehensive Exam Pass - The scores from both faculty members are aggregated, and students receive a mean score. In the event that there is great variation between the scores (i.e., one faculty member passes the student and one faculty member fails the student), a third faculty member scores the response and determines whether or not the response should receive a passing mark. Students who fail the written aspect of the examination must successfully complete an oral examination in order to pass the comprehensive examination component of the program. Students are allowed two attempts to pass the comprehensive examination.Comprehensive Exam Schedule - The comprehensive examination is given during the spring semester each year. The examination occurs on a Saturday morning in one of the computer laboratories located on Main Campus. Faculty members (who are not responsible for writing the question or scoring the responses) proctor the examination.
