It also eases the burden on the faculty, as it will prevent certain individuals from being inundated with students. You can work alone or in pairs. No preceptor should have more than four students. Preceptors should be identified no later than the end of October. Research should begin after the Christmas break.
Students have the opportunity of doing research from two to four afternoons per week.
Students opting for two afternoons per week will take two electives. If a student wishes to use elective time for research, then for each elective slot used for research add one afternoon of research per week. Students will be required to write up a half page scientific abstract early April. A student working alone will give a 10 minute talk and have 5 minutes for questions. Two students working together will get 15 minutes to talk and five minutes for questions.
