[La-cgs] Grades for thesis and dissertation courses

[Sushma Krishnamurthy]

Our students get a pass/fail grade each semester for thesis/dissertation hours. Those grades are entered by the major professor or Graduate Coordinator who has knowledge of the student's progress. The Pass/Fail option each semester allows the major professor to gauge the student's progress and implement corrective action if necessary.
Regards,
Sushma

Dear LA-CGS members:

At Louisiana Tech, graduate students in the thesis (master's degrees) or
dissertation tracks get an "I" grade for those hours until the
thesis/dissertation is submitted. At that point, the required number of
thesis/dissertation hours are converted to "S" (current term and past
terms). Is that how you all handle it? Usually the "instructor" for
these courses is the associate dean in the colleges who often has no
idea how well or poorly the student is progressing.

Best regards,
Ramu
