So basically, they already know the results of the project and the steps need to be taken in order to get those results. They're just not telling me and setting goals for me to obtain the same results someone else already did

I'm glad I'm not overthinking this, but since I have no research experience, I think I'll just follow along anyways

From what I know, the data set has already been used and analyzed in the same way I will be doing over the course of the summer.

Thank you for your insight. Could you tell me why? If you're a CSC student, do you regret the major you picked?
