More than 100 dissatisfied English concentrators have signed a petition calling for better communication channels for its undergraduates and reforms in the department's general exam and thesis evaluation process.
The petition calls for the department to tailor the general exam to address issues covered in a student's thesis and course work.
The petition also outlines measures which organizers believe will make the thesis grading process fairer.
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."
"I had [Lieberman] for sophomore tutorial, and he remained committed to my studies for the past three years, including thesis drafts," she added.
