\textbf{Timeline to Completion}\\

Recall that the PhD program has a 12 term limit. Please give your best estimate for when you expect to achieve each of the following, indicating both the name of the term and its position in your term count, without leaving any blank:\\

\vspace{.2cm}

1. Complete your Qualifying Exam milestone?\\

%\hspace{5mm}{Fall 2024 (term 1 of 12)}\\

2. Complete all of your course requirements?\\ 

%\hspace{5mm}{Winter 2025 (term 2 of 12)}\\

3. Give your supervisor a complete first draft of your PhD thesis?\\

%\hspace{5mm}{Winter 2028 (term 11 of 12)}\\

4. Complete your Lecturing requirement?\\

%\hspace{5mm}{Winter 2025 (term 2 of 12)}\\

5. Defend your PhD thesis?\\

%\hspace{5mm}{Spring 2028 (term 12 of 12)}\\

\pagebreak

\textbf{Statement on Research Progress}\\

Please include a 1-2 page statement describing your research progress. Namely, describe the problems/topics studied during the report period, highlight your research achievements (citing any papers listed in question 7), and describe any continuing/new problems/topics to be considered in the upcoming academic year.\\

\hspace{5mm}
%This is where you write about what you have been working on. Remember, 1-2 pages means that it shouldn't fit onto just the page with the question on it!
