The petition urges the English department to implement specific guidelines for thesis-graders, incorporate student input in the grading process and "insure that a student's reader has sufficient familiarity with the theoretical and critical approaches employed by that student."
Petition organizers said they are disenchanted with a department that is unresponsive to their concerns.
Julie C. Kim '97, also a petition organizer, said that while Faculty members in the department are "generally very sympathetic to students on an individual basis...the department, as an organization...seems to be wanting in some of that concern."
The petition urges the department to establish a discussion group, composed of students and Faculty, to address student concerns and conduct a survey of English concentrators.
Petition organizers said they do not expect the department to implement their suggestions about the general exam or thesis grading immediately.
