purpose + function of Faculty + Professional Committee Member(s)
The Faculty advisor should meet independently with the student at least twice throughout the semester.
Meetings are the ideal arena for establishing a meaningful working relationship with the student, offering criticism
and guidance in their ongoing creative work and scholarly research paper.
The Committee member should be knowledgeable of the topic the student’s paper is
concentrated and creative work to fully assist the student in their development.
The Committee member and student are encouraged to write notes and give constructive feedback to strengthen the performance of the student through the development of their paper and creative work. The Committee member will read the student’s Capstone progress in the 6-7 week of Fall term and in week 9-11, to offer constructive criticism of the student’s progress and development. Committee members will sign off and date following each read on a copy of this contract that the student will submit to the Faculty Advisor.
On each occasion, the Faculty Committee member shall speak in depth of the student’s creative work and Capstone research, giving back critical feedback on both.
Following this critique a signed document stating that the Faculty member was given the student’s Capstone, has read and commented on it.
The Professional Contact member meets only once with the student in the fall term and will have the opportunity to read the student’s research and comment upon it as well.
Faculty Advisor of SA 498 :: Senior Research Project and Development, Prof. Jen Pepper is available for questions and concerns that may arise during this process.
I have read and understand the responsibilities of accepting the position of the student’s Faculty/Professional Contact advisor. If for some reason I am unable to fulfill my responsibilities and commitment to the student listed below I will immediately contact the student and Jen Pepper.
