You are encouraged to present your ideas in a clear, concise, and respectful way, cite relevant sources when appropriate, respond thoughtfully and substantively to the ideas of three of your classmates, and moderate the discussion thread on your post.

Discussion Topic: Share your final report and supporting documents! It is really interesting to see how various groups will have worked through the project, what creative details they have added, how they have adapted the templates for their needs, and the outcome of their projects.

Compose a few lines of summary about your project and then attach the same files you''ve submitted for Assignment Part 5. Ensure that everyone in your group agrees to post your work.
