Final Project Tips and Suggested Timeline

Tips for a Successful Final Project

1. Focus on Feasibility
   
   

   • Start with an idea you can realistically complete within the timeframe and with available resources.

   • Consider your skills and group size—break large ideas into manageable components.

   • Be mindful of practical constraints like time, materials, and technology access.

2. Embrace Interdisciplinary Collaboration
   
   

   • Leverage the diverse skills and perspectives of your group members.

   • Use your collaborators’ strengths to complement your own. For example:

     • Someone skilled in research can gather material,

     • A designer can create visuals,

     • A writer can develop content, etc.

3. Brainstorm Creatively
   
   

   • Begin with open-ended questions:

     • What themes or concepts from the course resonate most with you?

     • How can you apply these to a real-world issue or creative exploration?

   • Don’t limit yourself during brainstorming—start big and narrow down as you refine your project.

4. Use Course Material Effectively
   
   

   • Draw inspiration from lectures, readings, and discussions.

   • Consider the key themes we’ve explored—how do they relate to your project?

   • Explicitly reference course materials to strengthen your rationale and show engagement with the class.
