Individual Research Project General Syllabus
Although your daily and weekly schedule will largely depend upon your own research project and the nature of your experiment, it is important to timeline your experimental research. There are only 14 afternoons of individual project research; time goes fast, so it is important to stay on track and ask for help when needed.
