CSC 302 Group Project / Presentation Proposal Format
Turner
Spring 2006
DRAFT - please check this format on Monday or Tuesday of the week of 17 July for further information.

Your formal proposal for the final group project and presentation should f
ollow this format. 

1.   Cover Page including 
     -title of project, 
     -name of group (optionally your motto), 
     -list of group members and contact information, 
     -estimated amount of class time required for the project at the bottom.

2.(a)   Abstract of the important high level lessons you expect the 
class to learn from the presentation.  A list with a short paragraph 
for each point will suffice, keep the list short, I recommend 1 - 3 
lessons.  Indicate how the "flattening" of the world via computers 
and communication have had a part to play in these lessons (or in
 the problems you present!)

  (b)   Outline of the actual presentation.  This can be in whatever 
form makes sense.  It should be designed to give us a good overview 
of how the presentation is currently planned.  (You are not stuck with
 it if you find a "better way" later, but must negotiate that with the
 Professor or the TA).  This should be several paragraphs to a few pages
 of text, enough that we can have a decent preview of what is to occur.)
  Make clear the media you will use (poetry reading, play, video, art 
show, satellite linked interview, walkabout through campus...

3.   List the references and other bibliographic resources in an annotated
 bibliography.  Even list the resources that you thought would be helpful 
but turned out not to be.  Give a few lines about the relevance and 
importance (or lack of importance) of each resource you cite.  The list
 should be rich and a group effort initiated to find and classify
 interesting things about your topic to help you create your presentation.

4.   List any special resources needed and indicate your plan to obtain 
them (like a digital movie camera, or a small sound system, or a VCR to 
display a movie.)  Do not assume that my computer with a movie file will
 work, you must plan to test it (on my computer and the classroom display
 if that is what you'd like to do) and make sure it all works and that 
you have exactly what you need when you need it.  Alex can help you with
 this, his office hour is on Friday.

5.   List of jobs, "parts," or "roles" and estimates of time required to
 execute them (in hours / week).  Things need not be "even" but must be 
well thought out by the group.  Indicate who in the group is assigned to
 each one on the list (there may be multiple assignments, I just want you
 to carefully plan the breakdown.)
