  •    projects
    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.
