Research Students are required to complete several assignments specifically designed to help them learn. Once these assignments have been completed, Research Students will be assessed on the knowledge that they have gained throughout their time as a Research Student. If the results are satisfactory, they will advance.

Research Students should not be performing duties until they have completed an orientation. To start, Research Students have 30 days to complete the following requirements to be eligible for a promotion to Assistant Researcher;

1. Student Seminar

Student Seminars are an introductory event hosted by Research Instructor+ for new department members, intended to test Students' knowledge of the regulations while learning the basic department duties. Student Seminars are typically split into three sections:

• Research Students will learn about how to rank up and important information about the Scientific Department;

• Research Students will be shown the department spawn, the tram station, and the CDCZ; and

2. Complete a Report

Research Students must complete one report as a promotion requirement. Students can view Scientific Procedures to see what kind of reports they are able to do.

• NOTE: Spectating two reports (tests, interviews, lectures, etc.) counts as ONE completed report for Research Students.

3. Gain One Hour On-Site

To promote gaining on-site experience, Research Students are required to log 1 hour of total on-site activity as a Scientific Department member. To see your activity on a specific team, run the terminal command "/activity team: Scientific Department".  

4. Final Exam

Once a Research Student has completed all of their previous requirements, they may take the final exam. All information in the test will have been taught in the previous phases or is freely available in the documentation. Research Instructor+ will grade Research Students' final exams.

After all the above is completed, you may request the rank of Assistant Researcher in #promotion-request.
