Does LENGTH of Research Make a Difference?

I think 10 weeks is a better idea. Length of research does matter in that commitment to a lab is good but for a summer research project 10 weeks is good. 4 weeks is really pushing it.

Research for a class is fine as long as you get something out of it and you’re actually doing stuff and not just shadowing or something all summer.

If you’re doing research that can be full time but shadowing/volunteering never hurt.
