Critique Instructions
Summer 2007
All trainees are required to submit a critique at the completion of their program.
Our ability to showcase the summer research programs to other students and to improve the summer program is dependent to a large extent on trainees’ impressions coupled with comments from the mentors. The critiques that are solicited from the trainees are held in the strictest confidence and are never divulged to the mentors in any way that could identify a trainee. Only summary data are seen by the mentors.
The critique of the program (double-spaced, typed, two-page minimum) should be based on your daily/weekly journal entries (this is better than trying to rely solely on your memory) and/or other accumulated experiences this summer. The critique is written in a narrative format and is unrelated to the actual research itself. Your observations may relate to the manner in which your application was handled, our ability to keep you informed, your housing, the seminars, travel if applicable, etc.
The Critique should be submitted electronically to OSR at StudentResearch@som.umaryland.edu.
