The following schedule for completion of the various parts of the study has been arranged. Dates are tentative and therefore subject to change.

Tentative Calendar for Project Completion

The following calendar is tentative schedule for the year-end project. Daily activities are subject to change; deadlines for completion of work are highly unlikely to undergo change. The schedule shows usual classroom activities (labs, packet materials, etc.) being run along side the year-end project. Year-end project activities are highlited in red.
