Tips for a Successful Project

• Have a meeting with your supervisor every week - even if you think you haven't done anything. This will help to keep you motivated (or spark some motivation).

• "Take ownership" of your project - you're not doing it for your supervisor (so there is no need to apologise to them if you haven't done much - it is yourself you should be apologising to!) You must be the driver of your project.

• Do something every week - this is not something you can "pull-out" at the last minute - it has to be a continuous, consistent effort over the whole year.

• Be structured about your project - know what you're aiming for and have a plan for how to get there. Revise your plan often.
