In addition to assigning letter grades, professors regularly write evaluations of AHMA students in their
courses and seminars. These are intended to help the AHMA faculty as a group to learn more about students’
performances than can be conveyed by a letter grade alone. They also serve to convey advice to the student.
These evaluations are placed in the student’s file and are subject to the University’s rules of access to
records: once an evaluation is placed in a student’s file, the student may request to read it.
