<p>Is it still possible to get one at this point in the semester? If so, do I just email the professors and ask for an appointment with them? </p>
<p>Also, how much is the workload, approximately?</p>
<p>Add/Drop deadline is over for this semester, you can still find a lab and make plans for next semester. Emailing professors is tricky, your best option is just to find a professor who’s research you are genuinely interested in, learn as much as you can about it, and pursue the professor with emails and drop ins etc.</p>
<p>What field are you? Research interest?</p>
<p>Its usually 6-15 hours a week depending on the department and research needs.</p>
<p>Well, I don’t really care about getting credits for it, but does that really prevent me from getting a position at this point?</p>
<p>I’m interested in Biochem/Molecular Bio.</p>
<p>you need to figure out what your interested in, find a professor who is involved in that, read their papers, and talk to them!</p>
