Hi Carlin<br>
<br>
My students will probably give me feedback like yours and struggle with their written proposal. The solution maybe is to create a proforma to force students to think about design and processing functions for their proposal first up. Below, off the top of my
head, are a list of headings/questions that students could respond to. <br>
<br>
1. Title of proposal<br>
2. name of client<br>
3. context of business(ie trying to tease out what the need is).<br>
4. Information problem.<br>
5. Information solution (what will your project actually do?).<br>
6. What will the user inputs be?<br>
7. What will the outputs be and how will data be stored?<br>
8. What programing language will you use?<br>
9. What processing features of the project are you able to do already?<br>
10. What processing features of the project can't you currently do?<br>
11. For features you cannot currently do how will you acquire these skills?<br>
<br>
I know there is some overlap here with the SRS but it would not hurt for students to think about these issues as soon as possible.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering if I could get a second opinion on these collated students proposals. Warning – they are a rough student draft
<span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Being a newcomer to SofDev, I ultimately want to make sure I do not approve a students’ proposal if it too large/small or not going to satisfy the criteria without change.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another query: Although students have been able to articulate their client ideas, students struggle with writing their proposal. – Does anybody have any pointers to help ease this process for the students?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hoping I am not too far behind the 8-ball.</p>
