Dear Colleague If the EMail below, which I have just sent out, does not apply to you, I would be grateful if you would forward it to the appropriate colleague in your instittuion. Many thanks Anne Leyland Apologies for taking up your time. At UCL we are compiling good practice guidelines for examiners of research degrees on how to approach the examination (and supplementary to the quite detailed regulations governing the exmaination) and also considering allowing members of staff who are new to research degree examining and would like to gain some experience in this area to sit in on vivas, with the candidate's (and examiners') permission. It would be really helpful if you could return this EMail to me deleting the answers to the three questions below which do NOT apply to your institution. *********************************************************** QUESTIONS 1. Does your institution have a formal scheme for training MPhil/PhD examiners? [Please delete all those that do NOT apply] YES NO IN PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT 2. Does your institution, whether or not as part of a formal scheme for training MPhil/PhD examiners, permit colleagues to attend MPhil/PhD viva examinations as observers? [Please delete all those that do NOT apply] YES NO 3. Does your institution provide written good practice guidelines to the examiners of MPhil/PhD examinations, in addition to the regulations for the conduct of the examination? YES NO IN PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT *********************************************************** I hope you will not mind, if the answer is 'yes' or 'in process of development', if I request you to send further information.
