Annual Graduate Student Evaluations
In early April, the faculty of each area (performance and design) will meet to discuss the progress of their respective students during the previous year. The MA students are generally evaluated by the Performance area, but others who have contact with them are asked to contribute as well.
At the end of these meetings, a list of students making satisfactory progress will be compiled. Similarly, a list of students whose progress is deemed unsatisfactory will be compiled.
A list of the names of those making satisfactory progress will be forwarded to the Dean by the Graduate Liaison.
The coordinators of each area (Performance, Design and MA studies) will write letters to their respective students whose work has been unsatisfactory, outlining their specific weaknesses and making suggestions for improvement in the future. Copies of these letters will be forwarded to the Graduate College Dean by mid-May. Copies will also be retained in the students' files.
Candidates may request the opportunity to discuss their evaluation with their area coordinator or individual advisor, if they desire.
