Instructions
The goal of the course project is for you to design and implement, in a group of four students, a substantial three-tier database application. All groups will work on a project with existing data of their choice. The project must include sufficient opportunity to design tables and queries, allow a user to interact with the data, and display visual results.
Write a short and compelling proposal about a project that your group would like to pursue this semester. Note that you are not committing to a specific direction or set of requirements at this stage. The purpose of the proposal is for us to agree on a project that is meaningful and feasible over the next few months.
Your proposal should be around 3 pages, with 1.5 spacing and a blank line between paragraphs, and have 1-inch margins. The narrative itself should be about 1000 to 1500 words. You are expected to write professionally, use complete sentences, have no spelling errors, etc. See the provided LaTeX template for the specific contents.
Each member of the group must contribute to the proposal. One person should clone the template on Overleaf and share it with the rest of the group. Please coordinate this step during class time to avoid confusion (i.e., don't create multiple copies of the proposal).
We will peer review the proposals during class. Each group will evaluate current drafts from two other groups using a provided rubric. You will play the role of consultants to help each other refine your ideas and project direction. After revising the proposal based on peer feedback, each group will submit the final version via Canvas for grading.
