Preparation of Moderation Papers
Students are expected to prepare two general papers, each about two or three typewritten pages in length, covering the following information:
- A Critical Evaluation of your College Work to Date
This should include a description of the work that has been most interesting to you and why; an estimate of the strong and relatively weak points in your preparation; what your original objectives were when you entered college and what they are at present. - Your Plans for the Future
This should include a description of your plans for Upper College work and how these plans are related to your declared objectives; an indication of subjects and special topics which you would like to investigate during the remainder of your college course; any plans you have for January intersession, or Summer; an indication of the work you would like to undertake for a Senior Project; any information or problem that you wish to bring before the Faculty of your Division.
Additional Materials
Copies of special papers or materials required by your Division are not required by the Registrar’s Office.
- Social Studies and Language and Literature Majors: One seminar paper, which you and your adviser consider representative of your best work, should be submitted to each member of your Moderation Board with the general papers.
- Arts, Interdivisional, and Science, Mathematics, and Computing Majors: Students should consult with their advisers or departmental chairpersons about special requirements.
Delivery of Moderation Papers
One (1) copy of each of these short papers is to be submitted to the Registrar’s Office using the application in "bip" not later than the moderation paper due date on the academic calendar.
