Dear SPH faculty at Hunter:

The Capstone Faculty team is asking you to sign 
up to review capstone papers for the Fall 2011 
semester. The expectation is that each full-time 
faculty member will review at least one paper. 
Please look over the list of projects and 
indicate your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices by 
entering your last name on the appropriate lines 
on the spread-sheet.  We ask that you sign up on 
google docs as described below as soon as 
possible but no later than November 14.  See 
attached document for more detailed instructions.

All MPH and EOHS-MS students must complete a 
capstone project in order to graduate. Students 
enrolled in PH 738: Capstone Seminar write either 
a 1) capstone paper or 2) a masters essay in the 
form of a manuscript for a professional journal 
in the student’s discipline. There are two types 
of capstone papers – a practice paper based on 
the student’s fieldwork and a research paper that 
may or may not be based on fieldwork but follows an experimental design.

In either case, each paper is reviewed by an 
assigned capstone faculty member (Arlene,Lorna, 
Frank, Linda or Bea) and also by a second faculty 
member--that would be you if you teach a graduate 
course. Thus, each paper is subject to two reviews.

Signing-up to review a capstone project

We have created a spread-sheet listing each 
student’s track and the title of his or her 
capstone project. You can access the spread-sheet directly by going to:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApZjsq_RMWKydFlaTUZfRVhVS29uWU9UVWcxdDRmZGc
Please look over the list of projects and 
indicate your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices by 
entering your last name on the appropriate lines 
on the spread-sheet. Since there are a large 
number of papers this term, some faculty may be 
asked to review two papers. You will definitely 
not be asked to review more than one if you 
recently reviewed two capstone papers in a single 
semester.  Faculty members who do not sign-up 
will be assigned a paper to review.

The review process

We now have an un-blinded (transparent) review of 
the papers. Students will know who their 
reviewers are, and reviewers will know whose papers they are reviewing.
Papers will be distributed to you by email as 
soon as practical after November 14th, or earlier 
if the draft final paper is received 
earlier.  Please review the paper using Track 
Changes, inserting comments or text.

Thank you for participating in this important program function!
