Faculty Obligations

Faculty members who will be teaching graduate courses in the I/O sequence in any given semester will meet prior to the beginning of that semester to coordinate requirements among the classes offered that semester to ensure that collectively a reasonable graduate-level workload is placed on the students. Faculty expectations for each class will be described in the course syllabus distributed at the beginning of the semester. Substantial requirements should be identified in the syllabus and additional substantial requirements should not be added during the semester. Exams during the semester should be given with reasonable time limits (not to exceed 3 hours) that allow most students to complete the exam in an appropriate manner. I/O/Social faculty will meet at the end of each semester to review the progress of each student enrolled in the I/O program to determine whether or not the student will be recommended for continuation in the program. A student receiving a grade lower than a "B" in any course in the I/O sequence will be required to repeat that course.
