Mid-Program Assessments
In order to help IMP students in their progress, the IMP requires that each student participate in a mid-program assessment; the meeting, which generally lasts an hour, is attended by the student, his or her sponsor(s), the chair of the admission committee, and the IMP Assistant Director.
During the assessment, the participants will discuss changes in the student's program of study, quality of the student/sponsor relationship, progress toward completing the general-education requirements of the College, definition of the final project, and any other topics that may be deemed appropriate by students, sponsors, committee members, or the IMP administration.
The admission committee may specify the time frame for the mid-career assessment and particular issues to be addressed, and may choose to participate directly in the discussion.
The IMP will contact students and their sponsors in order to arrange assessments mid-way through students' work in the IMP.
Students are asked to provide updates to their approved course lists at the time of their midprogram assessments using the Course Change Form.
