Important Notice for LLED Graduate Students

1) The Department has reduced the available seats (course caps) for Web registration to ensure that LLED students who require particular courses at this time are able to register. LLED students who are unable to register for a particular LLED course they require should contact their graduate advisors (not the course instructor directly).

Priority in graduate courses will be given as follows:
- to LLED students who require the course during the current term to graduate at the next Congregation
- to other LLED students for whom the course is "core" to their area of study
- to other LLED graduate students
- to graduate students from other departments.

2) LLED 590 is offered between 16:30 and 19:00 alternate Thursdays beginning September 7 until April. It is not a traditional graduate course but rather a support group for students writing their graduating papers. Students may join the course in September or January and at other times with the instructor’s permission. Students who are well along in their projects may also join the course for support at any time.

Students who wish to take part in this support group should register for LLED 590 Section 064 (Cat 3886) after discussing their plans with their advisors. Students who wish to complete their graduating papers on their own, should discuss their plans with their advisors and register in Section 061, 062, or 063, depending on their estimated time of completion. In either case, LLED 590 earns three credits and is graded “pass” when the paper is accepted. Students may complete their papers, and thus the course, at any point during the term.

Prospective 590 students should have completed the majority of the coursework (including EDUC 500) for their programs and have their advisors’ permission to enroll. The course will work through all aspects of writing a graduating paper, from topic selection and narrowing through presentation of the final product. Students will have the support of two course instructors who will read and respond to various segments of the paper. As a rule, the student’s advisor acts as the third reader of the final product.

It should be noted that “paper” is used generically to cover various projects. The final project may be presented using a number of media.

Registration Procedures: To register for the LLED 590 seminar, students contact their graduate advisors. If students have completed the prerequisites, graduate advisors will submit a course add form to the LLED main office.
