UG3 individual project advisor interaction

BoS (2023/Spr) approved the following schedule for meetings and formative feedback.

Schedule of meetings

S1/5	30 minute meeting with project advisor.
S1/7	30 minute meeting with project advisor.
S1/10	30 minute meeting with project advisor.
S2/1	30 minute meeting with project advisor.
S2/4	30 minute meeting with project advisor.
S2/6	30 minute meeting with project advisor.
S2/9	30 minute meeting with project advisor.

The above are normative guidelines. Flexibility is expected, from advisors & advisees. For example, meetings can be rescheduled to other weeks for illness, attendance at interview, and so on.
The above also outlines the minimum expectation on an advisor from the student. Additional meetings can be arranged at the discretion of the advisor based on the complexity of the project and the needs of the student, but should be limited such that no student can gain an unfair advantage over their peers.
Where several students are working on similar projects advisors may choose to have students attend together.
