[SOCIS2012] REMINDER - Evaluation deadline on the 20/10/2012

[Julien Delange]

Dear all (and especially SOCIS mentors),

I hope the last days of work on your project are intense and everybody
will manage to complete his project. Also, I would like to take the
opportunity to remind SOCIS mentors that the final evaluation should
be sent on the 20/10/2012 at the latest. Up to now, I received only 4
evaluations. Because of administrative concerns, we put this deadline
before but the program still ends at the end of the month.

Please send the completed evaluation forms before the 20/10/2012.
Without it, we could not issue the final transfer as expected, and I
think students who worked a lot on their project would not appreciate
that :-)

Thanks for your cooperation,

Greetings,

[Julien Delange]

Dear all,

We received 15 final evaluations so far. May I remind you to send your
evaluation at the earliest so that we can be on time and send transfer
order on Monday.

Thanks for your help,

Greetings !

Julien,

We're in a bit of a conundrum. Our student has put a lot of great effort into their project, made a lot of good progress, but there have been some significant problems.

It's looking like the student will probably not attain their primary goal, which would be okay by itself if the student was consistently working hard. However, the student was slow to start, slow for a week in the middle, and literally disappeared for the past two weeks only to show up two days ago. We have a detailed daily development log and have been interacting throughout but I would estimate they have "missed" about three weeks across the entire program timeframe and have worked outstanding for the remainder of time.

Do we reward the substantial hard effort or punish the delinquency instances? I'll have something more definitive by the end of the day, but any feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers!
Sean
