Each proposal must describe how you are contributing equally to the project. 8. Objectives. List three objectives of the project; what the project is to achieve, create, or deliver. Identify who will derive a direct benefit from the expected outcome. Consider what you plan to show, explain, and/or discuss in your project. They can be basic and simple or elaborate and specific. 9.

Your references can be objects we screened or read in class. They can also be objects independent of course work. This does not have to be complete and it doesn't have to include ALL of your references. This will give us and idea of where you are going to look for proof to support your arguments. 10.
