Actually, it's a meeting all about dissertation process questions. I would love to go, but I have no vehicle. Can someone ask about the process for doing the culminating evaluation? Has anyone done it yet, or will I be the proverbial guinea pig? Is there paper work? Will there be visitors? What is the actual experience like? There are two goals listed--to test our knowledge of the core list of texts and to review three chapters of our dissertation for potential for continuation. Verbal and written get assessed with a pass or fail. that's all the "handbook" tells us. I'm scared. Someone help.

Hola, Kittens -- Chad said something today an IRB meeting next week. I believe it's run by Jerry and will take place next Tuesday from 3:30 - 5:30 in 112 Leonard Hall. I'm going. I don't want to molest any of my subjects at Natalie's Neverland Ranch until they sign a release form first. Word. -- Ingrid
