Regular assessments
During the PhD programme, the PhD student must submit a minimum of one regular assessment per year, and at least three regular assessments in total.
The assessments provide an opportunity for the PhD student to formally discuss and reflect on the progress of the PhD project and get feedback from the supervisors.
Required steps:
- The PhD student sends a project summary of 1-5 pages to the supervisors at least one week before the assessment meeting. We advise the PhD student to also prefill the assessment report before the meeting to ensure a time effective meeting.
- At the assessment meeting, the PhD student makes an oral presentation, and the PhD student and supervisors collaborate on completing the assessment report. The report serves as a tool to facilitate a constructive discussion.
- The PhD student uploads the completed assessment report in the regular assessment e-form in PhD Planner.
- The principal supervisor will assess the PhD students’ progress as either satisfactory or unsatisfactory in PhD Planner.
