- Upon submission, the Faculty Readers will determine whether the Distinction proposal and bibliography clearly demonstrate the student's understanding of the general aims of the study and the intellectual focus of the project. The Readers will evaluate whether the student's proposal:
- is focused and clearly delineating the central idea and theme of the Project
- that the Project proposal is doable in a timely manner
- contains a clear thesis statement and the rationale for the specific aims; that the Project presents intellectual and academic excellence
- concludes with a thoughtful discussion of the significance of the project and possible future directions
- Upon request by the student, the faculty reader should provide feedback on an initial draft of the thesis submitted by the first draft deadline.
- Upon submission of the final draft of the Distinction thesis or choreographic presentation, faculty readers will evaluate the grade and approve the Distinction. After completing the Evaluation Form, faculty readers are requested to forward it the committee chair by April 22.
