Fully revised definition
Fully revised means that the student has received feedback from each committee member, has addressed the feedback, and the committee members have read and approved the revisions. “Polished” means that the document needs no more than very minor copyediting. Candidates are expected to receive and incorporate feedback from each committee member in the review copy before the defense. A candidate may be asked to make changes in the dissertation, postpone a defense, schedule a second defense, or complete changes to the satisfaction of the committee Chair and/or committee members.”
