Research Plan Tracker

Research Plan Tracker

This section tracks weekly research plans for all RAM Lab members. Each member has their own page where their current plan from group meeting is recorded.

How It Works

  1. Friday: Group meeting — everyone presents weekly update + plan slides

  2. After group meeting: Prof. Lu updates each student's plan page here based on slides and discussion

  3. When ready: Prof. Lu triggers a Slack reminder — each student gets a DM with their current plan and a link to their page

  4. During the week: Review your page — update progress, add new ideas, mark finished items, remove anything no longer relevant

This Is Your Plan, Not Assigned Homework

These pages reflect what you said you'd work on in group meeting. They came from your slides, not from an assignment. Plans change — that's normal and expected. If something isn't relevant anymore, remove it. If you have a better idea, add it. The goal is to help you and Prof. Lu stay on the same page about priorities and road blockers.

How to Update Your Page

  • Click your name below to open your page

  • Click the pencil icon (or press E) to edit

  • Mark completed items as Done and move them to the Completed section

  • Add new items you're starting or want to explore

  • Remove items that are no longer relevant

  • Update dates and notes as needed

Needs attention — on your plan for 3+ weeks without an update. Worth revisiting whether it's still the right priority.

Note: Each student's page is restricted so only you and Prof. Lu can see your page.
