Keeping things organized will help you get the most out of your meetings with the PI. Individual unplanned meetings should be requested at least one week in advance. Meeting cancelations should be communicated at least 3 business days before.
Students are expected to come prepared for 1:1 meetings . Students are expected to enter by entering information about the meeting into a shared Smartsheet at least one day before each standing meeting to explain the specific activities that you would like to conduct during the meeting, the progress that you have made since the last meeting, and the challenges that you have encountered so far. Failure to submit the report will result in automatic meeting cancellation.
To make the most of your meetings with the PI, ensure you dedicate the meeting to research activities that require the PI's assistance and cannot be accomplished independently. We will use Smartsheet to track these meetings.
Meetings with Research SLPs often need to happen on an ongoing basis and although Research SLPs are responsible for taking notes and documenting decisions made in meetings that affect procedures and data, meetings may need to be rescheduled with less notice and this is acceptable since they are on the front lines of data collection.
Student-PI interactions.
Proactive students tend to receive more supportive letters of recommendation than those who wait to be contacted by their PI in order to make progress on their research. Remember, your PI is here to assist you, and you are expected to initiate contact with them as needed to accomplish your academic goals.
