Anastasia,
Thanks for the clarifications. I'll be writing the proposals for both the projects and leave it up to you to decide which one I should do :)
That's good anyway. If we give project x to someone else, then you still have project y as plan b ;)
Please mention in your applications that you are applying for both and what your preferred project is. We try to assign that one to you :)
A few more questions: How much minimum time do you expect to be put into the project(daily, weekly)? Currently, I feel I can give 5 hours every day. Idk if that's appropriate. Although I am willing to put up to 7 hours if need be.
Both projects are estimated to take ~175 hours. The "standard" project time are 12 weeks. So ~14.5 hours per week or ~2 hours per day. Of course it's up to you when you work on the project. So if you are planning with 4 hours per day, this should be totally fine. Then you have some space for doing research and similar things.
Who will be the mentors for "Optimize Erase-Function Selection" and "Fix Endianness Issues"? I think they are Simon and Thomas respectively, but still just confirming.
That's not decided yet, since it depends on which projects will be done. We can tell more during the application phase.
What happens if the project is not completed within 175 or 350 hours? Is it a strict deadline or flexible?
Since this year, you can extend the project time from 12 weeks up to 22 weeks, in case of you have exams or if you want to go on vacation, but your mentor has to agree on that.
