Think carefully about work that is assigned versus work accomplished via the student’s initiative for academic benefit. To ensure that work receives proper academic recognition the student should enroll for the proper number of thesis credit hours. We realize that differentiating “work effort” from “academic effort” can be difficult where an advanced student is working as an RA in the same lab where the student’s own research is being conducted. Work assigned by a supervisor or other person in charge of the ASE’s appointment counts towards the 220 hours worked each quarter.
