Cambridge 2016-17 Michaelmas Term Supervisors' Report
Cambridge has 3 terms in a year: Michaelmas Term, Lent Term and Easter Term. There are no exams in the first two terms; all academic exams are held during the last term.
Lim Jeck's Supervisors' Report for Michaelmas Term is below, to give readers a feel of how a Supervisor report looks like. I won't be posting subsequent Supervisor reports.
(Estimate of term's work: 1 means Class 1)
Mathematical Tripos, Part IA Trinity
Module: Differential Equations
Supervised by Mr Gunnar Peng (GGP24)
Industry: Good
Progress: Good
Interest: Enthusiastic
Estimate of term's work: 1
Comments: Outstanding work! Solved essentially every problem, but with a few minor mistakes.
Module: Vectors and Matrices
Supervised by Mr Matthew Crowe (MC756)
Industry: Good
Progress: Good
Interest: Interested
Estimate of term's work: 1
Comments: Near perfect answers to all questions, well done. Is interested but quite quiet in supervisions.
Modules: Numbers and Sets, Groups
Supervised by Professor I.B. Leader (IBL10)
Industry: Good
Progress: Good
Interest: Enthusiastic
Estimate of term's work: 1
Comments: A fantastic start to his Cambridge career. He has done a lot of hard questions: has his own particular (and very effective) way of approaching problems. A real star.
Bright and interested: a pleasure to supervise.
