off the cuff or cursory) of how you will cover the major areas. This
Section must be a minimum of 500 words.

your research

are required for your Synopsis paper, but 10 are highly recommended
to give you a jump on your work. Try to use the references in your paper
as well.

of the following need to be addressed in addition to the above)

project

format would you prefer? What will best present your information and your

will be published to the web, presentations given in class, other visual
media put on virtual or real display depending on medium, etc.
- Assessment Criterion
- Are all required
components present?
- How much effort went into the project? How will
I know?
