Exercise 6: Final Project Proposals

Due Tuesday, 11/18.

Please write a description of your proposed final project. Each team will submit a single document. The target length is 1 page, double spaced, 12 point times font, normal margins (no funny stuff).

Things to consider when writing this document:


  1. Summarize the core goals - What deliverables are you proposing to have completed by the deadline? 
  2. Explain your reasons - Why is this an interesting and relevant final project for the class? Why is it complex enough to be worth 1/3 of each of your grades?
  3. Explain your team's methods - How will you complete the project? Why is it a realistic undertaking given the timeline, budgetary considerations, and skill-set of your group? 
  4. Bonus - What specific roles will each team member perform for the completion of the project? 
  5. Bonus - What is your team's project timeline?
  6. Bonus - What is your team's budget? Where will you find materials?
The questions marked "Bonus" are largely there to get you thinking. Furthermore, answering all of these questions in a satisfying way will increase the likelihood of your project being accepted (and possibly your grade on the assignment).

We will give feedback on the project proposals. If your team's idea is not accepted or requires revisions, we will let you know. This will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

You and your team have probably been thinking about the final project a good deal by now. However, if you need to see the prompt again, please refer to the syllabus, linked here.
