Sample Proposal
1. What is the identified problem that the sample proposal deals with? It deals with a change needed for the way they are storing material.
2. Do the writers of the sample proposal declare what they are proposing directly in their introduction? Yes, they right into the problem and how it can be solved.
3. How do the writers of the sample proposal describe the Statement of the Problem? They go into explaining how the audio tapes are obsolete and the great need for change to CDs. Do they integrate both their primary and secondary research data to frame the problem? They began research with a survey and followed up with articles related to the use of CDs and the importance. Are you convinced that there is an urgent need to solve this problem after you read this section of their proposal? Yes, no one really have audiotapes anymore and if they do it is difficult to use them because the equipment is no longer there.
4. How do the writers of the sample proposal propose their solution to the problem? They would like to transfer current audio tapes to CD so that they may still be used. Do they discuss the benefits of the solution in detail? Yes, they explain how they should be downloaded and not only to CD but to MP3 and how it the students or users would benefit by using them in their vehicles. Are you convinced that the solution is really effective? Yes. Why or why not? because they will make it more convenient to use outside of the University. They may not be able to go to the University and this way it can be used at home or in their vehicle.
5. Do you think that their method to put the solution into effect is effective? Yes because I think what makes it effective is the percentage shown in the survey done. What do you learn for your group's method after reading this section ( the method) of the sample proposal)? Survey information goes a long way especially if you have the correct information and is presented well.
6. How do the writers of the sample proposal try to show that they are qualified for doing this proposal? By giving a brief detailed summary of their background and qualifications.
7. What are things in this sample proposal that impress you most? The survey and the research done was very impressive.
8. What are the aspects in this sample proposal you might want to do them differently? I don’t think there is much to do differently. The survey was very detailed and gave sufficient information.
