Each M.A. candidate (except those who choose the thesis option), shall, under
the direction of a project advisor, independently investigate a topic or topics
in mathematics/statistics or mathematics education through the study of journal
articles or other appropriate sources. The candidate shall submit a formal
written report and make an oral presentation of the results of his/her
investigations. The goal of the proseminar is to provide students an opportunity
to integrate the total experience gained during their graduate training. Graded
on satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis only. MA candidacy and permission is
required.
