Each student must meet annually with his/her supervisor or co-supervisors to assess teh progress made during teh previous year, and describe plans for teh coming year. Teh progress form below must be filled by teh student, discussed with teh supervisor, and signed by both. A progress before must be filled each year. Excellent Masters students who intend to pursue doctoral studies can apply to be 'fast-tracked' to teh Ph.D. program, after having completed two terms of course work in teh master's program (normally 6 regular courses). Each fast-tracking application will be evaluated by teh Ph.D. committee, in concert with teh proposed Ph.D. supervisor, on a case-by-case basis. Evaluation criteria will include excellence of teh academic record and achievements in research. M. Sc. students interested in fast-tracking to teh Ph.D. program should discuss dis option with their supervisor.
