Weekly progress report
What is the Weekly Progress Report?The weekly progress report is routinely used in many companies in the private sector. The form acts as a template for research students and team members to provide an update of their progress, difficulties, resource requirements, publications, and planning for the next week. In what way does the weekly report assist supervision of students?Completion of the report on a weekly basis assists students to compile their data, making it easier to complete their thesis and publications in time. It also acts as an important communication channel between student and supervisor, especially when a large team is involved. |

What do students say about it?
Students generally find it hard to appreciate it in the beginning. In my laboratory, it is a non negotiable requirement. After doing a few reports, they start enjoying it because it helps them in their planning and regular updating.
