Q: How long does it have to be? What is the format? What should it contain?

A: There are some basic principles to follow that are given on the Proposal section. Beyond this, these questions must be directed to your supervisor (See next question).

Q: Who grades the proposal?

A: The project proposal will be read (and graded) by your supervisor. Proposals are to be submitted via email to your supervisor, as well as online.

Q: We are working in a group. Do we submit one group proposal or individual proposals?

A:

This is a decision for you, your teammates and your supervisor. For all of the deliverables over this year, you may prepare a group report or an individual report with the following caveats:

• All members contribute.
• The portion of the project assigned to each member be clearly defined.
• The contribution of each member be clearly identified.

As an example, for the project proposal, individual reports may be prepared or a single group proposal may be constructed with a common background portion followed by a planned division of labour.

Q: Is my work within the team project suitable for my undergraduate program?

A: If you are not sure or you do not know how to justify the suitability in your proposal, have a discussion with your supervisor.
