Example with drop down: including Committee Members

If you are excluding committee members from directly adding their feedback to the GPR, there are still a few ways to capture this information. Click to learn more ↓
  1. Some academic units require their students to complete their portion of the GPR and then setup a supervisory committee meeting to discuss the progress made over the course of the year, and program. At this meeting, the senior supervisor collects information from the committee members and inputs a summary of all the comments made when it comes time to complete their supervisory evaluation.
  2. Some academic units are not including committee members directly in the process, but are instead asking them to email their comments to the program assistant. Once the program assistant has the comments they are able to change the status of the report to 'in review by committee', go into the report, copy and paste the comments into the text box for the appropriate committee member, save, and then change the status of the report back to what it originally was. This process takes less than a minute for each comment provided.
