"For 2021, we have added more flexibility into the scheduling of student's work - they have 10 weeks to complete their 175 hour project. This means students can work on their project an average of 17.5 hours each week of the 10 week program or they can work more hours certain weeks and then have some days/ weeks off as their exams/personal commitments occur. The main point to consider is that the mentor and student need to discuss the planned breaks and expectations early on - during the community bonding period to make sure they are on the same page. "While there is more flexibility for scheduling for 2021, the first and final evaluation deadlines remain the same and can not be changed. What this essentially means is that students will be expected to complete 40-50% of their project by the first evaluation which is the halfway point of the program (at the end of 5 weeks of coding) if they want to pass their evaluation. Also if a student completes their project 6 weeks into the 10 week GSoC 2021 program, that's great, but they still have to log back into their GSoC dashboard during the final evaluation period (week 10) to submit their final evaluation and work product URL in order to pass the program."
