Meetings: I expect that my students visit me every week and report their on going work. It is totaly the student's responsibility to arrange the meeting times.
Meetings: I expect you to send me a short report (as a checklist which consists of the items that we have discussed in our last meeting) after and before each meeting (by email). The email that you will send before each meeting will summarize the accomplished work (by checked items) that we have scheduled for the previous week. You should expect a read-receipt after each email that you send me in order to verify if I get it. The subject of your email should be in a specific format:
- Format for graduate stıdents: YLTEZ_StudentName_ReportNo_Type . The report type will be either TS (aftermeeting) or TO (before meeting) (example: YLTEZ_GülşenEryiğit_1_TS)
- Format for undergradute students: BOTEZ_StudentName_ReportNo_Type
Writing your thesis: It's too late to write your thesis after everything is accomplished. I expect you to write regulary while you are making your research and implementing your system.
The student will carry the entire responsibility of the consequences that will occur because of him/her (missed meetings, falling behind the scheduled work ... )
The student should reserve enough time for me to read the material that he/she sends.
