Reviewing Project Progress
Via Projects Worksheets > Project Roster
As a Personal Project Coordinator or Supervisor, you can review the status of your students via Year Groups > select your MYP year group > Personal Project or Community Project.
The default roster view displays a list of the students Proposals assigned by supervisor with their status (Excellent, On-Track, Concern, TBD), learning goal, product goal and approval status (Needs Approval, Approved, and Complete).
The New Changes tag appears here if the student has edited their worksheet, posted a message or uploaded a new document. The indicator will remain until you review the student.
Filtering your Roster
Click Filter to open the filter options. Here you can filter by status or supervisor, click the blue Filter button to Save Changes. To remove the filter, click Reset.
Use the Quick Search field to find particular students by typing their name.
View by Assessment
To view progress based on their Assessment, you can filter by Assessment. Students are sorted by their supervisor, with those unassigned at the bottom of the page.
View by Deadline
To view progress against a specific deadline, filter by Deadlines.
The Deadlines view allows you to see where each of your students stand relative to the global deadlines that have been set (e.g. submitting an outline, meeting with supervisors, etc.).
You can filter for All deadlines or specific deadlines via the top-right Deadline dropdown. Hover over the i symbol for further details of the deadline. A tick symbol will indicate the deadline To-Do has been checked off.
Via the Personal Project Workspace
By clicking on a particular student, you can view their full Personal Project Workspace. This is where you'll be able to review the proposal, check off completed to-dos, and record comments.
On the right-hand panel, you can mark the student's proposal as Approved and Completed. You can indicate the student's progress via the status dropdown (Excellent, On-Track, Concern, To Be Determined) and see an overview of their assessment grades.

The note is automatically e-mailed to the student and is also available in their ManageBac notifications inbox. The student can respond to provide a nice back-and-forth on their project. Click the 3 dots next to a note to edit or delete it.
