(Statutes and Ordinances, p. 293)
The regulations have been amended to clarify what is required for portfolio essays in Part I of the Tripos and the procedures for submitting a scheme of work in Part II.
Regulation 17(b).
By deleting the second sentence which reads 'All the essays must be on subjects falling within the scope of the paper for which the portfolio is substituted' and replacing it with the following sentences:
Portfolio essays must be on subjects of literary interest which fall within the scope of the paper for which they are substituted. The portfolio of essays as a whole should exhibit a range and substance comparable with that required by the examination paper for which it is substituted. It should show knowledge of work before and after the date specified in the rubric for the paper for which it was substituted.
Regulation 20(a).
By deleting the final sentence which reads 'A candidate who intends to offer an optional dissertation in Part II under Regulation 19(c) shall state at the same time the whole scheme of work to be offered in the examination.'
By renumbering current Regulation 21 as 22 and adding a new Regulation 21 so as to read:
21. At the same time as dissertation topics are submitted through candidates' Directors of Studies to the Director of Undergraduate Studies, each candidate shall submit the whole scheme of work to be offered in the examination. The Director of Undergraduate Studies shall communicate the Board's approval or rejection of the proposed scheme of work to the candidate's Director of Studies.
