DMP Progress Report
As part of the Distributed Mentor Project, each student and her mentor
is expected to submit a Progress Report on the student's mentorship
experience. The reports are to be submitted about midway through the
mentorship, and the submissions will trigger the student's third
stipend payment.
Both the mentor and the student reports must be submitted through the
Participants Website at http://parasol.tamu.edu/dmp/PARTICIPANTS
Progress reports submitted by the student must include:
- Please give a brief description of your project:
- How many weeks have you worked so far, and how many weeks do you have left?
- What is the status of your project? (include what you have accomplished so far and what you expect to accomplish in the rest of the summer)
- What has been your biggest challenge so far?
- What is the most exciting thing that has happened so far?
- What is your working environment? For example, how frequently do you meet your mentor, the grad students in your group, others in the department, etc? Are you working on your project alone, with another undergrad, or with a graduate student. Have you attended any research talks?
- What is your housing and roommate situation?
- Is there anything else that you would like us to know about your experience?
- Is there anything you would like to tell your mentor (these comments, if any, will be forwarded to your mentor)?
