%\hspace{5mm}{Fall 2025 (term 1 of 12)}\\

2. Complete all of your course requirements?\\ 

%\hspace{5mm}{Winter 2026 (term 2 of 12)}\\

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

%\hspace{5mm}{Winter 2029(term 11 of 12)}\\

4. Complete your Lecturing requirement?\\

%\hspace{5mm}{Winter 2026 (term 2 of 12)}\\

5. Defend your PhD thesis?\\

%\hspace{5mm}{Spring 2029 (term 12 of 12)}\\

\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!

%The content of the Statement of Research Progress should follow the guidelines below, depending on your year in the program.
%
%End of Year 0: Students should include a short plan for a research paper they will write under the supervision of their advisor, which should be similar in length and scope to the final paper of a Research Paper MMath degree (approximately 30 pages). This paper should be completed by the end of Spring term of Year 0 (typically in late August).
%End of Year 1: Students should include a specific plan for what topic they expect their thesis to be on and what materials they plan to study to prepare for that research.
%End of Year 2: Students should include a specific research plan for the topic of their thesis and what they hope to prove. They should give a 30 minute presentation to their committee about their research plan as part of the annual report process. Ideally, this would be an in person presentation, but online or hybrid presentations might be necessary due to logistical concerns. The presentation should be completed in time for the committee to make comments on the student's annual report (that is, before June 1).
%End of Year 3: Students should include a detailed report on the progress they have made thus far toward completing original research to be incorporated into their thesis.
