Comments Regarding Schedule:
·
The schedule is
subject to change with prior notice.
·
My due dates are
different from those of the
·
Please make sure to
bring the material required for each RTL Meeting. When I say bring your
abstract, the abstract you bring should be as polished as possible. DO NOT COME
IN EMPTY HANDED!
·
Because some of your
papers are in the early stages, while others are more advanced in their work,
deadlines and material due may change from one student to the next. If I tell
you to do something different during our individual RTL Meeting, follow what I
tell you to do and not what is in the schedule.
RTL Meeting Schedule:
·
As part of your SROP
Contract, you are required to meet with the RTL once a week.
·
If you fail to meet with
me during your scheduled time AND bring in the material due, you will not receive your stipend.
·
I will hold office
hours once a week on Thursdays from 1:00 to 5:30 (except for July 27 RTL
moved to July 25).
·
Each student will
select a 30 minute block to meet with me. Once you have chosen your set time,
it cannot be changed.
