First, some basic math. In the middle of most semesters there’s a one-week break. Mark off eight weeks before and eight weeks after that break. The resulting 17-week period (including the break) should now begin at around the start of the semester and conclude near the end. 16 weeks of 5 working days each is 80 days. If you imagine writing for three hours a day, that gives you 240 hours. Let that be the maximum limit. Try to appreciate the finitude of the problem.Research as a Second Language: 16 Weeks (every student has to read this)
