FAQ TIME Commitment?

• Generally students complete the Project within 2
  semesters so you will have initial contact at the
  end of one semester as the student submits their
  proposal to SJSU IRB-HS
• Next semester the project is implemented and
  written up which will require at least 3 rewrites

FAQ Second Advisor Time

• Generally there is much less time required of the
  Second Advisor. You should discuss the time-line
  and plan with the First Advisor to be sure you
  are aware of expected submissions for your
  review. Most First Advisors make editorial
  changes and have a nearly finished manuscript
  before requesting your input.
