October 29, 2004: This page will be no longer be updated. I believe all the students have graduated and make more money than I do.

Congratulations to all those students who have passed the exam. Please don't forget everything you've learned. At least not IMMEDIATELY. For those students who have not yet taken the oral exam, I have posted below the theses of several students who recieved high marks for the course. These theses have not been corrected, only formatted. Despite the mistakes they contain, you should appreciate the general high quality of their English, and use them as models to follow.

For those of you still studying, download the materials below, if you haven't already. (There are no materials for Week 7, Week 9, and Weeks 10-11). Keep studying your phrasal verbs - you will soon begin to love them. Consult the phrasal verb database. Do the phrasal verb exercises, too.
