Robert Curtis had just been hired into his rst academic job as an assistant professor of Classics

Robert Curtis had just been hired into his first academic job as an assistant professor of Classics at Topeka State University.
One day in September 2014, not long after Robert had started, the department head came to talk to him.
1. What are the important time milestones for this project?
2. Given these time milestones, when should Robert start on the project? Draw a network diagram and determine the earliest and latest starting and finishing times for all activities. From a scheduling perspective, which activities are critical?
3. Comment on the time estimates for the various activities.
Should Robert give himself more time? What are the pros and cons of doing so? Are there any pitfalls to starting too early? Where might he get good estimates of these times?
