#### One big question:
|
|
- **What is "specific technical points"?**
|
|
|

|
|
Jon is preparing to take the qualifying exam. After submitting an abstract, Joe, another student in Jon's lab, gives Jon some ideas on the state of the art.
|
|
|
|
- **Is Joe's advice a breach of Academic Integrity?**
|
|
- **Can Joe discuss ideas on other sections?**
|
|
- *Goals and Outcomes / Hypotheses... *
|
|
- *Research Approach ideas*...
|
|
- *Broader Impacts...*

#### Now some other issues...
|
|
|
|

|
|
#### Knowing your committee:
|
|
|
|
What should the expectation be?
|
|
|
|
- ME knew after the first week. Abstract acceptance was from committee.
|
|
- MSE did not know their committee for weeks.
|
|
|

|
|
#### Hypothesis vs. Outcomes
|
|
- MSE - need hypotheses in the proposal
|
|
- ME - outcomes are sufficient
|

|
