M: Professor, I noticed on the campus website yesterday that you had placed an advertisement for a research assistant position. I was hoping you could describe a little about it for me. I might be interested in it.
W: Well, it’s a two-semester commitment; I don’t want to hire someone and then find someone else halfway through the research. So, can you commit to two semesters as a research assistant?
M: I’m not taking a full course load next semester, and I’ve planned on taking it easy the following semester, too. So I don’t think the amount of time should be a big deal. Two semesters is fine. I mean, one or two or even three is OK for me.
Q: What is the student’s attitude towards the time commitment required?
