The intention of the blockscheduling was to, (a) reduce the level of traffic on campus as only half of the courses were offered ineach block; and (b) if one a block was able to finish with face-to-face instruction without beinginterrupted by a return to fully online instruction, the quality of that part of schoolwork would beprotected. While this consideration was well-intended, it required teaching plans to be completelyreworked, with the worry that instruction would be rushed without allowing students sufficient time todigest and absorb the content.Even

After each of the reviewers has assessed each application based on their assigned goal(access to research experiences vs. competitiveness for graduate studies), they take turns choosingstudents for the cohort. By sequentially building the cohort together, the cohort criteria are combinedwith the individual criteria. For example, suppose that Reviewer A selects a student in round 1 whois from school X.
