PROJECT PROPOSALS HAVE BEEN RETURNED
IF there is a number between 7 and 10, you can move forward.
IF the score is 6 or below, you have to revise or resubmit
If the proposal was returned WITHOUT a score that means I strongly suggest you change or modify your question and I’ve left suggestions. You can add questions into your doc and resubmit if you want more clarification. There’s a very good chance I won’t be back to school before Monday.
Tasks to accomplish
- Check your feedback from your project proposals. IF I say you can go on, you’re free to move forward. IF I let you know that you need to do more or clarify that, you must go that.
