- Examiners. The student's three-member committee serves as the qualifying process evaluators for each student, with the student’s qualifying process adviser as one of these members and serving as chair.
- Format. The written examination will consist of six essay questions, two submitted by each committee member. The student is to answer three questions, one from each examiner, to be weighted equally. Each question is labeled with the name of the submitting faculty person. All three members of the committee evaluate the entire exam.
- Note: School and Counseling Psychology doctoral students will have a choice between two questions regarding methodological issues, two questions about the substance of their document, and two questions that demonstrate their ability to integrate two or more core areas of educational psychology (affective, biological, cognitive, social, developmental).
- Administration. A group administration of each student’s written examination is scheduled in a Sanchez Building computer lab classroom on the Friday of the second week following submission of the qualifying document. Students are not allowed to have any materials with them during the written examination.
- Evaluation. Each member of the student’s evaluation committee independently evaluates the student’s entire written examination.
