5.4 Supporting Components and Documents of the Program

The College Student Inventory (CSI). The personal inventory provides each incoming
student with critical information that will assist in their transition to college life and
specifically into MMI’s Corps of Cadets. The intent is for the inventory to be conducted
within 48 hours of cadet in-processing and provides critical feedback concerning an
individual’s academic motivation and confidence, sociability, leadership, and general coping
skills. This inventory is reviewed with the individual cadet. Academic advisors (academic
instructors) are provided an inventory for each of their new cadet advisees. (An example of
the CSI is provided below).

The form is comprehensive, and with minor changes and deviations to the process, is
designed to satisfy multiple requirements pertaining to self-assessment and peer-to-peer
cadet leader evaluations. The CSI also serves as a resource for cadet leaders to document
and assess cadet behavior and performance.

The MMI Self-Assessment Support Form. The form is designed to provide an individual
assessment for each cadet within the first 30-45 days of arriving on campus. Each cadet is
requested to assess his/her individual performance in accordance with the statements
provided.

MMI Peer Evaluation Report. Each semester all cadets assigned to a squad, to include the
squad leader, will evaluate every member organic to their squad. Each cadet within the
squad will receive a numeric ranking. Along with the numeric ranking, a qualitative
assessment will be annotated.

The MMI Cadet Performance Counseling and Evaluation Report. The counseling and
evaluation report provides a peer-to-peer evaluation for all cadets within MMI’s Corps of
Cadets. The only exception to this policy pertains to the cadet battalion staff and company
leaders. The battalion staff is counseled by the Commandant of Cadets, and the cadet
company leaders (commander, executive officer, and first sergeant) are counseled by their
respective TAC officers. Cadets are formally counseled at least once per semester.

MMI Cadet Spot Report. The cadet spot report provides an expeditious means to document
cadet performance. The spot report is utilized to record both positive as well as negative
performance.
