Preparation for PhD Oral Qualifying Examination

Grades

Graded S/U, so there is no average to report.

Graded S/U: 50 records over 5 terms.

The registrar's own records: Fall 2021 to Fall 2025. Every instructor is pooled here.

By instructor

Grade records describe outcomes. For what a course is like to take, read student reviews written on dibs below or follow the separate external review link.

Workload and assignments

Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.

dibs has not read this course’s reviews, so it cannot say what kind of work it sets. That is dibs not having looked. It is not a course without papers or exams, and the reviews linked below are the answer until dibs catches up.

In Falls

Ran in 2 of the last 5 Falls, so it turns up in Fall sometimes rather than dependably. dibs has no record of it in any quarter since Winter 2023.

From the terms dibs holds, which start in Fall 2021 and exclude summer. A department can run a course in a quarter it never has before.

From the registrar's catalog

Tutorial, to be arranged. Limited to graduate mechanical and aerospace engineering students. Preparation for oral qualifying examination, including preliminary research on dissertation. S/U grading.

Final enrollment, averaged across each term's sections: 10 a term over 5 terms, summer excluded, most recently 10 in Winter 2023. That is the shape across years, not this term, which is above.

Seats over time in Fall 2026

How each lecture has filled since dibs first saw it. This course runs 44 lectures; the legend under the chart picks one.

A dot is a reading where something moved: the seat count, the status, or the waitlist.
