610 Tutorial (1-3)
Individual study supervised by a faculty member.
Topics are chosen after consultation between student, graduate advisor, and
faculty member. Course may be repeated as subject matter changes for a total of
6 hours of credit.
Impact:
The
MLA program does not foresee any impact from this change on program or
university requirements. No concurrences are required.
Rationale:
In
the program’s curriculum revision of last year, MLA 610 was changed from a
variable credit to a fixed credit course. This has reduced flexibility for both
students and faculty in a way that is already creating difficulties. The
variable credit option will allow students and faculty to more easily arrange
strategic use of the tutorial course in preparing for the MLA project.
