Please email your updated project proposals to me by class time on Thursday 3/12.   This proposal should go into a bit more detail about what exactly you plan to do for your project with an emphasis on actual deliverables.    This is the "contract" phase.   That is, we will agree that if you do what you promise to deliver by the end of the semester, then we will all consider the project to be a success.    It would also be helpful if you included a short bibliography and a brief (a couple paragraphs is fine) discussion of how your project relates to other work.
