Study calendar

Following is an outline of a typical semester, for a student undertaking a Research Project, while studying full-time and completing in one semester.

Of course the exact nature of your schedule will depend on the topic you are investigating and your particular approach to writing, among other things. Ideally, you should aim to have many of the actions in the Initiation phase finalised before the start of semester.
