Question: A formal creative project proposal is required and shall be prepared in accordance with the standards of the academic discipline. The formal proposal must provide a clear and lucid description of a creative project and must include a discussion of how that project is situated within the discipline. The proposal should explain the goal and intent of the project and convince the professor that the project fits within the discipline, can be completed in the allotted time, and comports with discipline standards. Proposal drafting is considered a learning process and helps the student avoid oversights and possible mistakes. It should show that the student has read the relevant and recent literature on the subject, and it should contain a list of materials consulted during the preliminary stages of research. In general, the creative project proposal should include background information related to the project topic, the purpose of the project, and investigatory procedures to be used. The formal proposal should not exceed five pages (title page and references not included). An overview of the required components can be found on page 15 of the Capstone Manual.

Part of the goal of this project is to provide a service to a public entity. If at all possible you should be working with an organization that will benefit from your project directly. You should attempt to present your work prior to the end of the class to the organization so as to be able to include the feedback in the final paper as an appendix. Please keep in mind you need written permission to work with an organization and should secure that at the very beginning of class. Remember you may work with an organization on process and presentation but you may not do human behavior research or access non-public data of those results without IRB approval.
