You should have finalised your project choices and submitted your preferences via a Google Forum Form during weeks 2 to 4 of the Summer Term, see the appropriate Projects Timetable via the Year 3 Key Information page for more information on the specific deadline. You will later be notified of your project supervisor. If you would like further advice on whom to approach, talk to Paul Bishop (paul.bishop@york.ac.uk) who is the overall Project Organiser. The role of the project supervisor is to provide you with guidance and advice, and to help you with particular problems you encounter. It is up to you to make the most effective use of your supervisor. The optimal frequency and length of meetings will vary, depending on the details of the project, the individual student's needs and their supervisor’s requirements, but might typically be held at least once every two weeks once the project is fully underway. You may arrange further additional meetings with your supervisor as required. Remember that members of staff may not be available for meetings at very short notice so if possible you should email first to make an appointment.

Scanning recent issues of journals concerned with topics of interest to you can be a useful source of ideas.

When recruiting participants you cannot use SONA or the cohort e-mail lists. Students should also refrain from paying participants, offering incentives and cannot provide course credit in return for participation.
