What is the Supervisory Committee supposed to do?
The Supervisory Committee serves to judge the progress of the student and the student’s thesis project. To fulfill this task, the Supervisory Committee examines the student at the Qualifying Examination. If the Supervisory Committee is concerned that the student is not sufficiently prepared to continue, then possible resolutions might be proposed. In short, the Supervisory Committee should work to make the student a better physicist.
