Why have you added the phrase selected students are expected to devote at least four hours per week in Spring Quarter preparing for the research and cultural experience?
Nine weeks is a very short period of time, and especially very short in thc conduct of a research project. Feedback from students in years 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 urged the program to strongly encourage more preparation before arriving at the host site. This would allow for the time at the host site to be learning gaining new knowledge unique to that site and allow a faster start into the program. Furthermore, translates into getting further in the research, even to the point of having enough research conducted to outline a paper for publication. Activities during the Spring Quarter could include reading research papers on the topic of the proposed project, learning computer techniques, getting accounts on computers at UCSD and at the host site, refining the project objectives, and learning some of the language of the host site.
