Graduate Program in Neuroscience
Annual
Review
The State of
Washington requires that the Neuroscience/Vet Science Program evaluate
graduate students on an annual basis in June/July. Annual Reviews are
performed by the student's Thesis Committee Chair (mentor). Review forms
are distributed to mentors and students, and are to be returned to the
Neuroscience Program Coordinator by August 1 (See Forms, page 51-52).
The mentor should discuss the Annual Review with the student. The
Curriculum Committee will then review the evaluation forms and may
request a meeting with the student and/or mentor to discuss the progress of
the student. The results of the annual review will then be presented by
the Chair of the Curriculum Committee to the faculty as a whole during a fall
faculty meeting. The Chair will use this opportunity to elicit further
information regarding student progress. Following this faculty meeting,
the Chair of the Curriculum Committee will inform the student, in writing, as
to the faculty's review of the student's performance. Before January 1,
the results of the evaluation will then be forwarded to the
Neuroscience/Veterinary Science Graduate Studies Committee for use in
considering the awarding of graduate stipends for the coming year. If it
is deemed that the student is not making adequate progress toward a degree,
the Curriculum Committee may request the Department Chair terminate the
student from the program.
In addition to
the review preformed by the mentor, the student is required to annually
complete the information/status update form (see Forms in the Graduate Student
Handbook).
Teaching
Assistant (TA) Evaluation
All Course
Directors for which a student is assisting will evaluate the Teaching
Assistant (TA) at the conclusion of the course. When the TA has
significant student contact, this evaluation will include the results of
feedback from students enrolled in the course. The results of this
teaching evaluation will be given to the student and become part of the
evaluation file maintained on each student.
