This analysis explores the implementation of pre- and post-rubrics in a Biology Masters program, focusing on key outcomes such as student growth, mastery of research, and overall departmental goals. By evaluating proposals, literature, methodologies, and presentation quality, we aim to establish expectations for graduates and measure their contributions to the field. The rubric serves as a guiding framework to assess student competencies, including time to completion and final prospects, while providing a longitudinal perspective on career trajectories.
