The Quarterly Report will be FUN!

The quarterly report for the month of September will be in the form of a closed portfolio, closed notebook, closed draft paper INDIVIDUAL TEST!

Before you go crucify me, think about it... NO PAPERWORK!

I expect each group member to be familiar with some basic knowledge of their project (title perhaps?), be knowledgeable about the technical details and specific procedures of the project, and be able to cite supporting facts proving the scientific feasibility and integrity of the proposal. And of course, there will be questions about the progress of the project and each member's contribution.

Note that the test will contain parts that are specific to your project. For those who have changed their topic, the test will be based on the latest topic you are currently working on. The result of this exam will also affect your INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE GRADE (aside from what your data notebook says and the contribution I get to observe during the STR period)

SCHEDULE:

Electron - 9/25/09 - STR period

Gluon - 9/23/09 - first STR period

Graviton - 9/24/09 - STR period

If you have any questions, email me at str2kawashima@gmail.com

REVISED Guidelines for Submitting Requirements

Because not everybody follows (or can follow?) my previous set of guidelines, I've made an effort to make it easier and more logical.

FROM NOW ON, please follow the following rules when submitting your requirements.

1. ALL PAPERWORK (proposals, drafts, reports, slideshows...) must be submitted by email.
   
   DEADLINE IS 9PM.
   (We have been receiving reports that you don't sleep anymore so don't use "STR" as an excuse to YM/Facebook/Twitter after 9PM :) Paperwork received after 9:00:00 will be considered late.)
   
   Only the RRL/Project Portfolio, Data Notebook and the ISEF forms will be submitted physically.
   
   
2. Submit your capsule proposal, final proposal, draft paper, final paper and whatever requirement that would have "proposal" and "paper" in their names to str2kawashima+paper@gmail.com.
   
   Indicate your Section, Group Code and whatever the name of the requirement is in the SUBJECT of the email. No need to write it in some special OneWordFormat, "Revised Final Proposal" is going to be just fine.
   
   If you do not receive an automated reply, it could mean that your message did not conform with the format, was not filed properly, or was not received at all.
   
   
3. Submit your progress reports, updated plans and anything that has to do with progress and planning to str2kawashima+progress@gmail.com.
   
   Indicate your Section, Group Code and whatever the name of the requirement is in the SUBJECT of the email. No need to write it in some special OneWordFormat, "Progress Report" is going to be just fine.
   
   If you do not receive an automated reply, it could mean that your message did not conform with the format, was not filed properly, or was not received at all.
   
   
4. If you have questions, requests, consultations and whatever else on your mind, email me at str2kawashima@gmail.com.
