Who determines hours/project length?

Assuming this project may be considered a ‘work practicum’ potentially for academic credit—- and the kid is undertaking this work to gain hands-on experience, this a good and worthy cause.

Hours will be mutually determined but a minimum number of hours a week will help in getting out something tangible.

As per academic credit, it is a great point. Thx
