I (Ed) feel feels that the easiest way to '''operationalize Orie's proposal''' is to change the senority order to the following:
PHDBA279S (Spring 2011) (view source)
Revision as of 21:05, 20 January 2011
, 21:05, 20 January 2011→Proposed New Institutions
In general, everyone should pick by seniority, but with the following conditions:
'''For the Spring:'''
-Job market candidates get spots only after everyone else has chosen.
-Those with specific plans for orals in the spring have first priority
-2nd years don’t get stuck early in the spring after presenting late in the fall.
'''For the Fall:'''
-3rd years (who have just completed 2nd year papers) present early
-Job market candidates get priority, but are encouraged to present early in the
semester, especially before their OEW slots and other outside presentations.
These are still subject to gaming, but I hope we would all stick to the spirit of these.

'''An alternative''' that should also work, and which still affords more seniority to rank program order is:
*Each term is broken into a first half and a second half.
*There are two rounds followed by a clearance. You may choose only once before the clearance.
*In the first round senority is by program order (6th year -> 2nd year), but you may choose only from the first half of the slots (or wait until the next round).
*In the second round both halfs are open and the senority is as in Ed's proposal above.
'''The status quo''' is not the senority system that we have used to date on the wiki. Rather, it is what ever schedule Steve (or whomever is running the seminar) would impose on us.
As always, please feel free to discuss this on the [[Talk:PHDBA279S_(Spring_2011) | Discussion Page]].
