Welcome to the CHEE Personal / Partner / Group Accountability Checklist, a tool designed to guide and support your journey through undergrad in the Chemical and Environmental Engineering program. This checklist is structured to help you reflect on various aspects of your academic and personal life, ensuring that you are making the most of your educational experience. It covers key areas such as academic performance, health and well-being, and personal growth. By regularly (suggestion: weekly or every other week) reviewing and responding to these questions, you’ll be able to keep track of your progress, identify areas for improvement, and maintain a balanced and successful academic life. Remember, this checklist is a supportive framework meant to inspire and not to impose strict rules, so approach it as a flexible guide in your learning adventure.

You are encouraged to do this individually, with a partner, and/or with a group. This is 100% optional and is intended to help you thrive as a student.
