Actually, it depends on the teacher Some tutors are strict and will directly tell you how long it will take to prepare the first draft and when the meeting will be held to report the completion and revision. Some tutors are sloppy and don't care at all. Just let you choose your own topic and finish it within the time specified by him.

If you want to write a good paper, you'd better take the initiative, call your tutor, ask for advice, decide your own topic and ask your tutor what kind of books to read. Then write the first draft and send it to him in time. Because everyone is very busy, it is recommended to communicate by phone more. Only when you take the initiative will the teacher remember you and be responsible for you; Otherwise, it won't be too bad and the teacher won't say anything.
