Evaluations
Graduate students will be reviewed by the Graduate advisor formally (each Spring) and informally (each Fall) to ensure satisfactory progress through the program. Students will be evaluated in terms of coursework, progress towards degree, and teaching. It is not expected that students will have any difficulty with evaluation. However, should a concern arise, the graduate director will inform the student formally of the specific problem and recommend an action plan to rectify that problem. If the student does not implement the action plan, then an ad hoc committee of faculty will be formed to recommend either an additional action plan or, if appropriate, termination from the program.
