CBFE Annual Review Process & Metrics
First-year students will be reviewed by the CS Graduate Committee in the spring. This evaluation is based on data collected directly from students by the Graduate Program Coordinator (online), as well as administrative data. Students are required to track their own metrics in terms of presentations, paper submissions and other work to report. Students will should also request evaluations of their performance as teaching assistants for each semester in which they TA or serve as a lecturer. It is critical students make sure these evaluations are completed by students before each course concludes. All students must complete the UW Human Subjects on-line training course (CITI) and maintain an ongoing certification of completion for their entire time in the program.
Review Process
Any student who is failing to make progress will meet with the CS Graduate Committee. Students may appeal their status providing evidence of any special circumstances to the CS Graduate Committee, and then the full CS department. Students may further appeal to the SOHE Graduate Committee, in writing, if they feel the Departmental review is inadequate.
