EMP 991 EMU PRofessor 1 credit
Dissertation Defense
Description
After being advised by the committee Chair that the dissertation draft prepared in EMP990 is accepted by the committee as ready for defense, the student must pass an oral defense of the dissertation. See the semester schedule for deadlines.
The scheduling of the telephone conference call will be handled by the Chair of the graduate student's committee. It will be scheduled with at least ten days notice.
The Oral Defense will be held on a telephone conference call or voice over internet system. It will last from 60 to 90 minutes in length. It is the student’s responsibility to record the entire Oral Defense and to deliver a copy of it to the EMU Registrars office. This must be received before any diploma is awarded.
Prior to scheduling the defense, as a prerequisite for the committee members to evaluate the draft of the dissertation and agree that the draft is acceptable to defend, it is the responsibility of the student to provide the faculty members either machine readable electronic files, or a paper copy of the document, whichever is preferred by the faculty members.
The defense will be evaluated by the committee. At its conclusion the committee will go into private session and a grade of Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, or Honors will be awarded.
The student will make any final changes in the manuscript required by the committee, and provide a final bound document to the University, and a bound copy to each committee member who requests one. This bond copy must be received by the University before any diploma is awarded.
The final hard copy should be bound in a black hard binder with the title, date, and student’s name affixed to the front and side of the binder. The student should observe other bound dissertations from other universities and have this document bound professionally by a university or independent printer or press.
