Here is a worksheet for those who would like help starting out writing their intellectual autobiographies. I encourage you to err on the side of including more information/including any experiences that might possibly be relevant as you go on to tailor statements for targeted opportunities/applications.
In a sense, this is the unabridged version of what can later become a personal statement. Intellectual Autobiography. The purpose of this assignment is to develop a coherent personal narrative for how you reached your current research interests. Please note you’ll present a poster on your research in the fall research symposium (more on posters below), but there is *no final paper* for the SIRE program. For current students, the talk will take place Tuesday July 28th from 9AM-2:30 PM. Note that all students must submit their talk abstracts by July 14th and their draft version of the talk by July 17th. The capstone project for all SIRE students is a talk on your research project. Here is a template, to start you off- modify however you and your mentor see fit. This is meant to make expectations and goals for the research assistantship explicit, and to make sure everyone is clear about their respective research protocols. To get everyone started out on the right foot, we ask all student-mentor teams to draft a contract.
Success in the research setting depends on having clear goals, an action/training plan, and solid communication/coordination with the other members of the research team. This is where I’ll post course documents and other relevant material for students in my SIRE classes.
