Graduate Diploma in Translation
CCTR 551 Comprehensive Evaluation

Students completing the Graduate Diploma in Translation (GDIT) must sit a comprehensive examination at the conclusion of the GDIT Program. The examination consists of an oral defense of a best-work portfolio. This portfolio represents a record of progress made by the candidate throughout his/her studies. Each candidate prepares a written introduction and comments on selected examples of coursework with a view to demonstrating his/her progress toward greater translation competence.

The comprehensive examination is public and therefore open to other students and faculty members. All examinations will be held at 688 Sherbrooke Street West.

For more information, see the Graduate Diploma in Translation Comprehensive Evaluation Schedule Fall 2009 [.pdf].
