Formal Group Proposal Report

The formal group report is the fifteen page report your group has to now turn in.  This is the final product of you and your group’s hard work.  The report should be completely stapled together.  If your group had a rough draft edited by the professor or anyone else, turn it in with the final report.  The day your report is due should be also when you give your group presentation.  The presentation can be done in any form you want as long as it is appropriate and conveys the message of your proposal report.  You can do something from a skit to a power point presentation.  Your group is required to have a handout for the class.  The presentation will be graded by your fellow peers.  I want to advise you to look at the grading sheet that has been provided for you online before you present. 

My group actually had a total of seventeen pages in our proposal report.  Our professor said that was fine.  He said he would just stop reading at one point.  Our overall report was a simple read.  It provided Amanda Eldredge with all tools she would need to understand our message.  It also provided her with information to present to the school board.  We had a lot of statistics in our report due to the subject we chose.  We did have our group member Jasmine to go get our rough draft edited before it was due.  We then corrected and errors that was there.  We had to turn in that rough draft with our final report so the professor can see the editing that was done.  It was a huge relief to finish the report.  When I look back at the whole process, it wasn’t that hard.   It did take some time to do but was not something that should have overwhelmed us.  I know that you will also look back at it and feel the same way.

Our presentation was a power point presentation.  We each had equal amount of time to talk.  We also had a handout with facts regarding our topic.  There was one thing that did cause us to get a lower grade than we should have gotten.  On the handout, our heading was left off.  This is why I want to make sure you and your group pays close attention to the instructions, even the very basic stuff.  I was very proud our work and presentation.  I thought we actually did a very good job overall.
