The student will complete an Executive Summary that includes an Individual Development Plan and as well as the Annual Review Update Form. The advisor will approve of the materials and then the student will send these documents to the rest of their committee, in whichever format the committee prefers, such as over email. The committee will review these documents and submit feedback to the advisor. The advisor will collect the feedback and discuss it with the student. The student will then schedule meetings with the committee and send a follow up email to the committee summarizing the discussion. The student will then submit all documents to the graduate coordinator, who will file the annual review in the student’s file.

Students will be required to prepare a 1-page, single spaced executive summary of research progress to date since the last examination. Beyond research, this document should also include an “Individual Development Plan” discussing future plans and strategies for personal and career development (approximately ¼ of the page). The graduate office has provided numerous resources for completing the Executive Summary. The Executive Summary and Annual Review Update Form should be sent to the committee 6 weeks prior to the deadline given by the Graduate Office. You will be prompted to upload your executive summary to the Annual Review update form through DocuSign.
Annual Review Update Form
The Annual Review Update Form will be sent to the Graduate student at the beginning of the fall semester after the 4th class day through DocuSign. The student should complete this form as quickly as possible so their committee can begin reviewing it.
A few helpful tips for filling out the form:
- Use the yellow Auto-Navigate prompt button rather than the tab key to complete the form. You will be required to click through each step of the Auto-Navigate system regardless of whether the field has been completed.
- The Auto-Navigate will also require you to click through each radio button (round button) even though you should select only one radio button for each question.
- When filling out information about courses, include the word "transfer" if you took a course or its equivalent at a different institution. If you took more than 10 courses, only list the three required courses (Thermo, Transport, Kinetics) and 7 others that are relevant to your research.
