Moderation Papers

Preparation of Moderation Papers

Students are expected to prepare two general papers, each about two or three typewritten pages in length, covering the following information:

1. A Critical Evaluation of your College Work to Date.
   This should include a description of the work that has been most interesting to you and why; an estimate of the strong and relatively weak points in your preparation; what your original objectives were when you entered college and what they are at present.
2. Your Plans for the Future
   This should include a description of your plans for Upper College work and how these plans are related to your declared objectives; an indication of subjects and special topics which you would like to investigate during the remainder of your college course; any plans you have for January intersession, or Summer; an indication of the work you would like to undertake for a Senior Project; any information or problem that you wish to bring before the Faculty of your Division.

Delivery of Moderation Papers

• One (1) copy of each of these papers is to be presented to the Registrar’s Office not later than the moderation paper due date on the academic calendar.
• Three (3) additional copies must be submitted on the same day to the members of your Moderation Board, personally or through Campus Mail.

Failure to submit these papers, or any special papers and materials required by your Division on the due date without the permission of the Executive Committee will leave a student subject to failure of Moderation.

Students who plan to moderate in Fall 2021 will need to submit their moderation papers by Friday, October 22nd, 2021.

Papers can be submitted by email to registrar@bard.edu or dropped in the box on the ground floor of Ludlow by 5 p.m on Friday the 22nd.
