Later, you must settle a problem statement with your supervisor. We also recommend that you settle a supervision agreement with your supervisor.
Please note:
You are not exepcted to have found your superviser nor the subject for your Research Project when you register for the project. This is usually something that happens after the Research Project intro in the first week of the semester.
