---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Webform for reporting on 4th year project meetings | The webform would allow the project group leader to rate each studnent's progress, provide a short comment, and indicate posssible problems. It would be automatically generated with students names (this information is in the project database) and the relevant comment for each student would be sent to the student, the student's DOS and supervisor, and the project organiser. This would replace the current system of emails which have then somehow have to have inconsistent data extraced from them and somehow collated. I have previously proposed this over the past two years, but been told it was not possible then. It would really help is keep better track of progress, and provide better information for supervisors, DOS's and students, and the project organiser. | Helen Pain | Previously discussed with Graham Dutton and Neil McGillivray - think they would support it in principle. Those academic staff I have informally mentioned this to have though it would be helpful. I am currently gathering feedback from staff on this. I'd like to add my support to this (Alan Bundy). Note that we need a mechanism for drafting, amending and approving drafts that all supervisors can engage in.
