(School Psychology students are not required to take a written exam)
Note: students may reference their QP document for both the written and oral Qualifying Process examinations. The EDP Graduate Coordinator will provide you a hard copy of your QP document at the beginning of the exam.
After the qualifying document is turned in, faculty are not to advise the student about the document or possible questions that may be asked on exams. However, the adviser should have one meeting with the student about the general exam process.
The focus and purpose of the written examination is to obtain evidence that the student has gained a thorough knowledge of the topic, along with powers of critical analysis in interpretation of that knowledge, and skills of investigation or experimentation. You may be asked about any topic that you should have learned in one of the courses you have taken that a committee member is somehow reminded of by reading your qualifying document, even if you did not write about it directly.
