Below I have highlighted what we talked about and bullet points indicate action items for you, for me, or for both of us. If you see anything that I ve missed or have recorded incorrectly, please let me know and I will update the information. Getting it done - It is of course up to the student to do the things they need to do, but it helps me remember what I m doing and gives me a reference for the next time we meet or as a follow up contact.
