This page (formerly hosted by
Jimmy Dillies)
contains some questions from previous oral exams, as submitted
by victims students. Below these are sample (read: old) major and minor
syllabi, arranged by topic. The big BIG disclaimer here is that these are no more
than guidelines; your committee's acceptance of your syllabus is not automatic, whether
you elect to mimic a syllabus below or not.
If you have anything to add and I haven't pestered you already, please let me know. Also,
let me know if you seek a syllabus that you don't see here. (I have all of the generic
syllabi that are floating around in electronic format. There are [several?] more paper
ones lurking as well, and the more popular ones are likely to be TeXed and posted here if
there is demand!)
