Reviewer Report Form for Special-Session Proposals

Due Date: Friday, October 4

Note to the Reviewer: All the information in this form will eventually be sent to the proposer of the special session with the exception of the reviewer name and the private comments to the Program Committee. These two confidential items are written in red and have the symbol # preceding them.

Additionally, all reviews submitted for a special session proposal will be distributed to all reviewers of that proposal. It is hoped that, over time, this feedback will help reviewers improve their reviews as they can compare their responses to those of others.

The on-line reviewing of special-sessin proposals with this form requires version 3.0 or higher of Netscape or Internet Explorer. The form also uses Javascript for error checking.

Rate the overall quality of the proposal for a special session according to following scale:

6 Exceptional	Top 5%	Likely to be among top 10 sessions at conference
5 Outstanding	Next 15%	Above average for symposium sessions
4 Very Good	Next 20%	Comparable to many symposium sessions
3 Average	Middle 20%	Average symposium sessions
2 Below Average	Lower 30%	Correct but not too interesting
1 Deficient	Bottom 10%	Contains serious errors or deficiencies

While the proposals sent to an individual reviewer may be of much higher or lower quality than the norm, the above percentiles may give some guidance about how the ratings are to be used. For example, on average, if you are reviewing 4 proposals, you might expect 1-2 proposals in the top 2 categories, 1-2 in the middle categories and 1-2 in the bottom 2 categories. Only a fraction of the proposals submitted can be accepted, due to time limitations at the Symposium.

Overall Recommendation:

6 Exceptional

5 Outstanding

4 Very Good

3 Average

2 Below Average

1 Deficient
