Graduate Student Annual Report

Department of Anthropology, University of Florida

 

Instruction Sheet

 

The Department of Anthropology adopted a “Graduate Student Evaluation Procedure” in October 2007 that requires annual self-reporting of graduate student accomplishments to the department and an annual evaluation of progress of all graduate students by subfield faculty. The self-report is an important means of assessing student progress and accomplishments by the supervisory committee chair for use at the subfield evaluation meeting.

 

The Graduate Student Annual Report details milestones and accomplishments for the period of April 16 of the previous academic year to April 15 of the current academic year. It is due on April 15 of each year. The report consists of two parts. The first is the pre-printed form that is the first page of this document. The form should be printed and can be filled out by hand if necessary; please make sure your writing is legible. The second part is the list of your accomplishments, numbered according to the categories on the previous page. That part is to be prepared on a word-processor and attached to your filled-out form. For the Accomplishments section, please be as specific and detailed as possible in your report. This instruction sheet can be discarded.

 

The Milestones section requests the dates of events that cumulatively track your progress. The dates should be in month/year format (e.g., 09/07) or semester year (Fall 06). Please provide your best estimate for such milestones as “MA Committee Finalized” and “PhD Committee Finalized.” Much of this information is available on your current transcript (on ISIS) and the Graduate Information Management System (GIMS) database. To access GIMS records, click on MyUFL from the UF home page (www.ufl.edu). After signing in on MyUFL with gatorlink ID, go to Quick Links on the menu on the left and then to GIMS.

 

Date of Matriculation: Indicate the semester/year you entered the Anthropology Graduate Program. Do not enter the dates for matriculating into the UF BA program or any other graduate programs.

 

Subfield: Enter Archaeology, Biological, Cultural, or Linguistics as your primary subfield.

 

Track: Enter Specialized (General; one subfield), Interdisciplinary (indicate second discipline), or Multifield Track (indicate second subfield).

 

Cumulative GPA, Total # of Credit Hours, Total # of Incompletes: This information is available online on ISIS. Provide the current GPA from your transcript on ISIS. Include NGR (no grade reported) grades with Incompletes. Credit Hours should include all officially transferred credits and all earned UF credits that count toward your degree in Anthropology. PhD students will include credits earned towards the MA. If you are in a dual-degree program, please indicate which one.

 

Committee Chair and Members: Fill in the information as it appears on the GIMS database, which is the official record. If that information is incorrect, you should contact the Graduate Program Assistant to have it corrected.

 

MA Comprehensive Exams: If your committee required a thesis and waived the written exam requirement, indicate N/A (not applicable or not required).

 

MA Awarded and PhD Qualification Exam Passed: These dates are available on ISIS and GIMS.

 

Field/Labwork Completed: This indicates the semester you returned from PhD fieldwork or otherwise finished the data-collection phase for your dissertation.

 

Be sure to keep a copy of your report for yourself because the Milestones section is cumulative. The Accomplishments section includes only information relevant to the reporting period.
