Okay this may sound like a dumb question.

What do you exactly do in a research program? My university invited me to a couple, but I'm not sure how much time I will be spending in it, nor how difficult it will be.

Are they paid? Are they easy?

Thanks

too broad. ask a human IRL that's been to the one you're interested in

For undergraduate research, look into the faculty page and see which project interests you more. Then e-mail the professor about it.

The professor would usually assign a Ph.D student to guide you in doing research.

My friends and I usually spend 12 - 15 hours per week in lab. Plus writing monthly report at my spare time.
