The purpose of the prep sessions is to help students prepare for the upcoming comprehensive exams. Prep sessions are usually held twice per term. Sessions are held on campus and usually in the second and/or third week of the term. The primary purpose of the prep sessions are to explain the process in person, to answer questions about the exam process and the exam questions, and to provide an opportunity to hear and address student concerns about the exams.
Additionally, the prep sessions provide students an opportunity to meet one another, to organize study or preparation groups, and to share contact information.
The first part of the sessions is an overview of the comps process. It is followed by a short Q&A time. The second part of the session addresses and reviews the questions. It is followed by a longer Q&A time. The third part of the session proposes several different strategies to prepare for the exams.
