Step 4 begins once the Instructor completes their review of the Pre-Research Survey. The student will receive an email notification that the review is complete, with a link to read the response from their Instructor. The Instructor is notified that their review has been sent to the student. During this time, it is recommended to take time as a class or with students individually to discuss their responses to the Pre-Research assessment and Survey.

The dashboard will read "Waiting for release of Early/Mid- Research Assessment" during this step. You do not need to start the Early/Mid-Research Assessment until the intended time in your course or research. You will be reminded by email as that date approaches. Within a week of your Early/Mid-Research Deadline, the dashboard will display an option to release the Early/Mid-Research Assessments for all students, which will advance students to Step 5 once selected.
