ComS 222 Term Project Proposal Format and Examples

a. Name/s of student/s conducting the project

b. Working title of the project:

c. Rationale for the project; how does it fit into the overall structure and goals of this course? (350-500 words)

Below, find links to two versions of a student’s proposal, one is “weak,” the other is “strong.”  I encourage you to examine both of them, but certainly
look at the strong version before completing your proposal.

Proposal version 1—Weak

Proposal version 2--Strong
