Initially, tentative pairings of students will be made, along
with suggestions of project topics. During the first week, students
are encouraged to meet with the prospective partner and do some
initial research into the various project ideas.
We aim to have students deciding upon a research topic and partner
by the end of the first week, in consultation with their mentor.
