Reason for doing project alone: I chose to complete this project alone because the information gathered may not always meet a deadline set by members. It will be easier for me to set my own deadline and work as the information is provided to me. This would make it less complicated as to not strain any other group members with asking them to put in the much needed time if information presented after a deadline.
Please complete all sections of this proposal document and submit it to your Professor in Microsoft Word format. Please ensure that you have read all module content carefully before submitting the proposal. The proposal must be approved BEFORE you begin the project.
