September
N.B. You have more than one month from the first deliverable (startup bibliography + mentor introduction) before the first truly big one is due (annotated bibliography), with the intervening ones being relatively short, journal-style items. However, the next sizable deliverable (proposal draft) is then due a week after the annotated bibliography. There is also a week of no class right before the annotated bibliography due date. The upshot: get a head start on the proposal draft even before the annotated bibliography is due for submission. The time is there; the due dates are just somewhat compressed.
