Advice

The best advice I can give is to start the project early. By getting started the day the assignment is given out spares you hours and days of stress and confusion. If you start early you can go in and see Dr. Stull sooner rather than later. It is important but not crucial to pick a partner who you can collaborate nicely with and still get along. This project is a lot of work and the earlier you start the better. Also remember to stay as organized as possible because you will be making a lot of changes along the way and if you are aware of where everything is it makes it a lot easier. When handing out your survey plan on a lot longer time than you think it will take. You will probably have to go back at least one more time. Writing everything down is important because you never know when you will need what information. Overall this project is a lot of work and do not underestimate the time and effort that it takes.
