Information for staff members
In parallel to the tutorial sessions, where the students are learned generic proposal writing skills,
the IRP is partly delivered by the project supervisors.
The following is requested of staff:
1) meet regularly with the student, 2) provide literature references for the project, 3) proofread drafts
4) and mark the final proposal.
Of course, a well-thought out proposal will make the summer-project much more enjoyable for
both student and supervisor.
