The LIS End of Program Examination is comprised of two (2) activities:
1. Part One: Essay Examination
Students must prepare formal answers to three (3) Essay Questions designed to synthesize knowledge from their coursework and educational experience. This part is conducted in the IS End of Program Examination Canvas course site over a period of 7 days (See the EOP Calendar for dates).
NOTE: Each student must submit three (3) completed essays.
2. Part Two: End of Program Questionnaire
Each student must complete the IS End of Program Questionnaire (EOP). The End of Program Questionnaire is a survey of graduates regarding the courses, program, faculty, facilities, and educational technology.
Evaluation of the IS End of Program Examination
Each essay question is evaluated and graded on a PASS/FAIL basis by two (2) faculty members with expertise related to the question subject matter. All essays are numbered and evaluated without knowledge of students' identities.
Students must receive a pass grade on ALL three (3) essays in order to pass the IS End of Program Examination.
-
Students who receive a fail grade on one (1) or more essays will not pass the IS End of Program Examination.
- Students who do not pass the IS End of Program Examination on their first attempt will have the option of switching to the alternate End of Program Assessment Method - the Advance Topic Seminars (ATS). If the student prefers to take the EOP Exam again and fails for a second time, they will fail the entire program and will not be awarded the degree. Students are only permitted to re-take the IS End of Program Examination once.
Dissemination of Results of the IS End of Program Examination
The IS End of Program Assessment Committee notifies the Department of Information Science Chair of the results for all students. The Department Chair notifies the UNT Toulouse Graduate School of the official results. Students are informed of their results via email from the IS End of Program Assessment Committee after the completion of the IS End of Program Examination.
