1) Providing committee members with the Q.E evaluation form for each printing out the form attached above on the Q.E day
2) Providing committee members with the brief Q.E presentation materials for each
3) Pre-defense means the pre-step of the final defense, so you should have pre-defense before the final defense apart from the Q.E. (It is not allowed to have pre-defense and final defense in same semester)
4) Research proposal submission is mandatory for all UNIST graduate students: it should be submitted until their 4th semester (until the vacation ends) regardless of the Q.E result. If students don’t submit this research proposal during their 4th semester, students should submit the ‘Letter for delay submission of research proposal’ additionally and it should be approved by the Academic Affiars Operation Committee.
