What is the Undergraduate Supervisory System?
The Undergraduate Supervisory System (USS) is a supervisory system within the Behavior Analysis Training System. The mission of USS is to manage the performance of undergraduate research assistants, undergraduate learning assistants, and undergraduate thesis students who are completing either a Lee Honors College Thesis or a Departmental Thesis. The subsystem’s main priority is to maintain the efficient completion of research by undergraduates, supported by master’s mentors.
The USS managers’ responsibilities include creating resources and rubrics for thesis writing, monitoring the quality-based performance of undergrads, monitoring the feedback of master’s mentors, and providing support in terms of conference presentations, posters, and end-of-the-year orals.
