Progress Reports

To enhance the communication between the student and his COOP advisor during the COOP program, the student should periodically submit progress reports to update his advisor on the progress he has made so far. The student should follow the instructions of his COOP coordinator regarding the number of progress reports required, due dates and format. The progress reports are supposed to be brief and concise. Below are some suggested guidelines regarding progress reports preparation:
