Comprehensive examination for Ph.D students
Comprehensive examinations are required by the Faculty of Graduate Studies in all Ph.D. programs. These are typically written over the course of two to three months at the conclusion of the student's coursework and prior to approval of the dissertation proposal. The comprehensive examinations for the Ph.D. degree in the Centre for Cross-Faculty Inquiry in Education entail the preparation of two or three scholarly papers that deal with important and far-reaching concepts from across the student's program of studies. Learn more about comprehensive examination.
Thesis (MA, Phd)
There are a number of guidebooks to thesis and dissertation writing available in the University bookstore. Instructions for the Preparation of Graduate Thesis is available from the Faculty of Graduate Studies. The conceptualization of the project should be done in close consultation with the student's advisor and committee. Learn more about thesis.
Major Paper (MEd)
The graduating paper demonstrates a substantial examination of a topic relevant to the student’s program. Its scope should be roughly equivalent to the amount of work produced for two 500-level 3-credit courses in the Faculty, and will be proportionately less than that of the six-credit M.A. Thesis.
