Goals
-
Provide every student with detailed feedback on his or her progress, advice on the areas that need improvement, and an acknowledgment of accomplishments and strengths.
-
Discuss and agree on future goals and milestones.
Ultimately, we hope this progress review will help graduate students achieve their degree goals in a timely manner, aid productivity, and improve student retention.
Instructions
Students:
-
Please fill out and print the Student Progress Questionnaire. Also print a blank Student Progress Review form and take it to the meeting with your advisor.
-
Schedule a 20 minute, one-on-one progress review meeting with your advisor before the deadline. Take both forms (a blank "Student Progress Review" form and your completed "Student Progress Questionnaire") to the meeting with your advisor. Complete and sign the "Student Progress Review" form during this meeting. Signing this form indicates agreement on the appraisal. Otherwise, we request that you attach an extra sheet of paper on which you list the points of disagreement.
-
After the review meeting, return both completed forms ("Student Progress Questionnaire" and "Student Progress Review") to the Grad Assistant in 205 Cory. These forms will be included in your student file.
Faculty:
-
Please hold a 20 minute, one-on-one meeting with each of your advisees to discuss his or her progress. The Fall Mini-Review may require a meeting with only a subset of your advisees. Review your advisee's completed "Student Progress Questionnaire." Complete and sign the "Student Progress Review" form during this meeting. You may choose to use the Graduate Student Skills Lists as a guideline or starting point for your discussion. Signing the “Student Progress Review” form indicates agreement on the appraisal. If the student is in disagreement of the appraisal and does not sign the form, he or she should attach an extra paper listing the points of disagreement. Your student will return both completed forms to the Grad Office.
-
After meeting with all of your students, record a letter type for each of them in the EECS Grad Student Review Database using your CalNet ID and passphrase. You are encouraged to add a personal comment (up to 1000 characters) in the note section. These comments will be included in the review letter sent to the student.
- "My Grad Students" will produce a list of your advisees (research
and temporary) with basic information about admission and enrollment.
- Click on each student name to view progress toward degree, assign letter types, and record meet dates. At minimum, you must record a meet date and assign at least one letter type for each of your students (at the bottom of the student screen). Additionally, you may assign a second letter type, a P.S., and a personal note (up to 1000 characters). Don't forget to SAVE your entry!
- "View All Students" allows the viewing and sorting of all registered grad students in the department.
- "Search for Students" allows the viewing of an individual student record.
-
Attend the Grad Student Review meeting.
Review Letters
After the full faculty review meeting, each student will receive a feedback letter from the faculty as a whole. These letters will be delivered to grad student mailboxes. In some cases, letters will be sent by email and/or US postal service.
