Experiential Learning Project: Project Plan

In a little over a week, a plan is due that lays out what you expect to do for your experiential learning project. It counts 5% of your final course grade.

What should that plan include?

1. in a sentence or two, a description of what you plan to do;

2. an estimate of the amount of time you think you will spend planning and engaging in the activity (not including follow-up research or preparing your written report) and a tentative date or time-frame for performing it;

3. in a sentence or two, why this project is ethically valuable or is relevant to environmental sustainability;

4. depending on the proposed project, one of these two:
a. one or two questions you intend to answer through the experience
b. a statement of how this experience will extend your horizons.

That's it!
I've suggested that you pursue a project that connects with your pre-existing interests, skills, or opportunities; however, since the project is intended to widen your experience, you might also try something you’ve never thought about before!
