Graduate Student Annual Evaluation

Graduate students are evaluated and ranked every year with respect to awarding departmental assistantships according to the following four criteria:

1. Progress in the program
2. Assistantship evaluation
3. Professional activity (research and teaching)
4. Grade point ratio

These annual evaluations:

• Measure progress and guides conversations between graduate students and their mentors
• Collect information about performance in the program
• Provide information to the Sociology Department to distribute assistantships
• Guide committees to nominate students for fellowships
• Supply students with letters of guaranteed funding an overview of their progress

These slides with an overview of the graduate student annual evaluation provides a summary about the required evaluation process of graduate students.
