The implementation of an individual research proposal is subject to mid-term evaluation in the middle of the education period. The mid-term evaluation ends with a positive or negative result. A positive result of the mid-term evaluation is a condition for continuing education at KISD. A negative evaluation causes the doctoral student to be removed from the list of doctoral students and the end of education at the doctoral school.
Committee for the Mid-term Evaluation of PhD Students
Mid-term evaluation shall be conducted by a committee composed of three members, including at least one person holding the degree of doktor habilitowany or the title of profesor in the discipline in which the dissertation is being prepared, employed outside the entity operating the doctoral school. The supervisor and assistant supervisor shall not be members of the committee. A representative of the PhD students has the right to partake in the work of the Committee, but without voting rights.
The Mid-term Evaluation is carried out by the Committee based on:
- a written summary of professional accomplishments of a PhD student,
- an interview with a PhD student.
The summary of professional accomplishments shall include a detailed description of progress in an individual research proposal. The following documents should be attached to the summary of professional accomplishments:
- documentation of the accomplishment of research effects indicated in the summary of professional accomplishments, including copies of first pages of publications, certificates of acceptance for publishing, certificates from conference organizers etc.
- documents confirming that the student has undertaken activities preparing him/her for research or research and development work indicated in the summary of professional accomplishments
- supervisor’s or supervisors’ opinion containing an assessment of the student’s progress in the preparation of a doctoral dissertation
- print-out of the presentation prepared by the PhD student for the purpose of the mid-term evaluation.
The doctoral student submits a summary of professional accomplishments together with the required documents to the appropriate Deputy Director of KISD within the last two weeks of the second year of education. In the case of doctoral students pursuing the “Implementation Doctorate” program, the doctoral student submits documentation no later than September 10 of the second year of education at the doctoral school.
| The PhD student prepares a complete set of documents for the mid-term evaluation. This set is submitted independently of the documents for the annual report. The aanual reports are checked by another committee. |
