To: All I/O Students

From: Paul Spector, Program Director

Subject: Annual student evaluation

Date: March 28, 2005

We will be reviewing progress of all students once the academic year ends. The process, however, begins with you. The enclosed form serves as the basis of that evaluation. Since only you know what you’ve done, we are asking that you complete the form and submit one copy to me (hard copy only) and one to your major professor or advisor (hard copy only) by Friday May 6, 2005. Also, please email the form and your updated vita to Laura Pierce . The I/O faculty will meet in May to review and evaluate all students. Keep in mind that this is a requirement and is not optional.

Please fill out all the items that apply by using the electronic version of this form—don’t just write on the hardcopy. You will receive a copy of this via e-mail. There is also a downloadable copy on my website under “Forms and stuff for USF I/O students”. Retain a copy of your form from year to year as it will be easier to update than beginning from scratch each time.

Keep in mind that we DO NOT expect every student to have done everything. This form contains all the things we could think of that a student might do in a given year, but it should not be considered a list of things that must be done each year. For example, first year students take mainly coursework and are unlikely to do an internship; whereas the opposite would likely be true for a fourth year student. Also keep in mind that a single accomplishment (e.g., internship) might be considered sufficient for one year, but would not for multiple years.

The purpose of this exercise is to provide you with developmental feedback that is intended to guide your studies and prepare you for an I/O career. We hope you will find it of value.

Using the following format, please document all that you have accomplished academically and professionally for the past year, from beginning of summer semester 2004 to end of spring semester 2005.

For the rest, use an open-ended format, taking this form in electronic format and adding your responses. Be sure and attach your goals from last year (except for first year students).
