Provide an efficient means for students to develop various aspects of a technical/business proposal throughout the course. There are three papers that build on each other through the session to give the students experience in taking a concept and expanding on it. | | Guidelines | |
* Choose a base idea that is expanded through a series of three milestones throughout the course. * These can be completely oriented toward business or could also be topics that reinforce the idea that we live in a technological world 24 hours a day. Mobile devices, social networking, cloud computing, and digital media are examples of this fact. * The Week 1 threaded discussion will help identify and choose appropriate instructor approved topics. * The graded proposal is submitted formally in Week 2. * Course Project Milestones 1, 2, and 3 are submitted in weeks 3, 5, and 7. The format for the course project is posted in DocSharing. This will be a single document that you continue to add content to (i.e. week 2 you will complete the proposal and add any references used on the reference page; week 3, add content to the original documet for Milestone 1, etc.) | | Milestones | | * Week 1: Discussion and agreement on the Course Project (not graded, but required) * Week 2: Submission of the Course Project Proposal (graded) * Week 3: Course Project – Milestone 1 * Week 5: Course Project – Milestone 2 * Week 7: Course Project – Milestone 3 – Project Complete
