This request is to Change from graded to pass/fail, change course name to “Nursing Thesis” and to change prerequisite.  The designation of pass/fail more accurately depicts the actual grading that occurs throughout the process of the thesis. Students develop their own objectives and either meet these or don't. The quality of all work is expected to be at the level appropriate for graduate work. The addition of Nursing to the course title is more descriptive. Students actually need to start work on their Thesis prior to enrolling in Advanced Nursing Practice III; this course is not essential for their ability to complete a Thesis while Nursing Research Methods is.
