I look forward to meeting you face to face or virtually during this course Develop a proposal outlining: · introduction · the problem / issue you wish to solve · your motivation for doing this (eg. career/ personal interests) · how you will tackle it – eg. write a report, collect data (where from?), develop something (eg. a web page – how?) · the future beyond the project – do you envisage using the material for your work? For interest? Going further? (it’s okay if not) · Timeline for the project · Summary
