Exercise 3 – Assign Applications to an Evaluation Folder for Review LLM

Task: Add folders for two types of evaluations and assign different types of applications to a reviewer.

Scenario: Since the same reviewer often reads different kinds of files, you use folders to indicate the type of applicant, including (1) applicants with an English Proficiency Overall Score of 90 and above (these can be reviewed by Admissions staff and not the Committee); and (2) all reapplicants. Create folders for these applicant types; then find the first type of applicant and assign to yourself. Then find all the reapplicants and assign them to yourself as well.

If you’d like to try the exercise on your own without detailed instructions, feel free to do so. If not, detailed instructions follow.
