Every Dianetics and Scientology Course must have a Student Progress Board.
The purpose of the board is to clearly indicate to supervisor and students the progress each student is making through the course, whether he or she is making expected progress and any students which may need to be sent to Qual for correction such as Remedy B.
The board has a column for each major cycle of action of the course. For the HSDC this would be one for each time through theory and practical, one for the pre-auditing exam, one for Auditing and one for final exam. See sample Student Progress Board below.
Each student’s name is written on a small card, stuck in the Board with a thumb tack, and moved along to the next column as the student progresses through the course.
If the student does not keep pace with expected completion’s, such as he falls a week behind, a red slash mark is put on his card. If he falls two weeks behind schedule a second slash mark is placed on his card.
The Course Administrator keeps the Student Progress Board and is responsible for its existence and condition. The Board must be posted conspicuously for all to see. The board must be kept up to date at all times.
When a new student joins the course the Course Administrator immediately writes the student’s name on small card and pins it up in the first column. The Administrator moves the students’ cards along as they progress through the course and puts slashes on the card as warranted. The Administrator informs the Course Supervisor if the board is indicating a student is not making expected progress, but the Supervisor himself must also frequently check the board and take any appropriate actions.
Students undergoing retraining are on the board with their names on a different coloured card, such as green for second time through the course, blue for third time, red for fourth time, etc.
As a double check on student progress, a stack of eight baskets is used. They are marked as follows:
1. One week.
2. Didn’t complete materials in one week.
3. Two weeks.
4. Didn’t complete materials in two weeks.
5. Three weeks.
6. Didn’t complete materials in three weeks.
7. Auditing and exams.
8. Didn’t complete auditing or exam.
Again students’ names on cards are used, different colours for retrain. When a student has been on course for one week, the Administrator places his card in the”one week” basket, or (if he didn’t complete his materials) in the”Didn’t complete materials in one week” basket.
In the latter case, the student’s card on the Progress Board is red slashed and the Supervisor notified so he can take appropriate action.
The Course Administrator keeps these baskets always up to date.
The Course Folder Administrator is also to keep a posted list of sessions given by students. Each session is graded Well Done or Flunk as indicated by the Case Supervisor. The student too should keep this form as a record which indicates he has complied with the auditing requirements of the course.
One sheet per auditor.
