English 313w: Language of Peace

Northern Arizona Univeristy, Flagstaff AZ, U.S.A.

Here is another w part of the course. You do not need to follow the template in its exact format. But, it is a general template useful for "quick" proposals.

Purpose: Most projects need a proposal before a supervisor or manager can okay the work. Your job is to do the preliminary work BEFORE spending lots of time and effort on a job unnecessary on the wrong path.

Specifications: Use the template presented here as a basic format for your proposal.

Remember that a common proposal includes $ breakdown. How many working hours the project will take, and sometimes you need to break down all the tasks for the team members involved. You do not need to include these details for this proposal.

For this course, I fully expect that as you continue to research and think through your topic and project idea, your proposal will most likely not define the end product.
