The purpose of the honours oral examination
is to ensure that honours students have mastered a broad range of
material in Computer Science at the fourth-year level. A student
is examined in his/her three selected areas of Computer Science,
and additional questions may be asked about the student's honours
seminars. An area represents a related group of important Computer
Science ideas, rather than the content of of a specific course.
Some areas that might be selected are identified in the Example Areas section of this document. More general,
more specific, or separate areas may be chosen, with the agreement
of the Honours Coordinator. Examination questions typically test
for a broad understanding of the material rather than the more specific
details tested on written examinations.
