What makes a good proposal?

Your document should describe, at least, three components (problem, proposed solution, and schedule). We will not provide a template. You are free to create your own and illustrate your work in the best possible way. Just make sure you address the requirements described below. There is no page limit for your proposal, but 1-2 pages should suffice to clearly describe your proposal.

(1) What is the challenge you will tackle?

You need to explain why the problem you are addressing is important. Furthermore, you should describe the challenge you are addressing.

(2) Proposed solution

You need to describe the strategy to tackle (and hopefully solve) the problem. You should:
- Detail your ideas and justify why you think it is going to be a good solution (presenting related work and user research results to support your claims is a good idea);
- Describe your main contributions and the steps needed to accomplish your goals;
- Identify the materials and describe the prototype you intend to build;

(3) Schedule

You need to present the schedule for your project. What are the main tasks you will have throughout the semester and how long will they last? Please take into consideration the deadlines for the Studio Critiques (11/Oct., 25/Oct., 29/Nov.).

Grading

Grading will be based on the quality of your document and discussion with Faculty in Studio 4. 
You will be graded from 0 (did not attend) to 10 (awesome work).
