Advisor Meeting Agendas
The advisor helps with any questions the student has regarding the content and method of their research project. Advisors and students meet for mandatory check-in meetings. If necessary, additional meetings can be scheduled. The students are primarily responsible for scheduling the mandatory check-in meetings, but advisors are encouraged to check the calendar and reach out to their student if they haven't heard from them.
After each meeting, the advisor should record a meeting note on ManageBac and update the status of the student's progress on ManageBac.
For the mandatory check-in meetings, meeting instructions are provided here:
Check-in #1: Topic Ideas and How to Narrow Them (early November Junior Year)
Check-in #2: Research Question Ideas (late November Junior Year)
Check-in #3: Research Proposal Critique and RPPF #1 (January Junior Year)
Check-in #4: Research Organizer and Research Approach (February Junior Year)
