\nMoment of\u00a0Significance: Writing the Proposal<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
What?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\nExactly what the Vancouver Food Asset Map project entailed was brought into perspective\u00a0through our proposal report. Before we could explain to others what we were doing in the proposal,\u00a0we had to figure it out for ourselves. Our group brainstormed and made up a rough proposal draft,\u00a0but it was somewhat confusing for us; if an \u2018outsider\u2019 were to read it, we felt like they would not understand the exact purpose of the project or how we were planning to complete it. There was\u00a0definitely uncertainty and lack of clarity in project goals\/objectives and research questions during the\u00a0initial stages of the writing the proposal.<\/p>\n
So What?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\nWe had to seek out help from our professor and TA to clear up uncertainties we had about\u00a0the proposal which in turn also helped us put a clear focus on the proposal and the project itself.\u00a0During our meeting with the professor, we also learned the techniques to searching for new food assets\u00a0such as the effectiveness of calling versus emailing an organization when contacting them. From this\u00a0new information we could split up the remaining work and set up reasonable goals for what we will\u00a0accomplish for this project.<\/p>\n
Now What?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\nBy inquiring about the proposal writing process and making changes accordingly, we feel\u00a0that we were able to clarify our goals for the project. We were also able to establish well-defined\u00a0research questions to help provide direct for our research. Through what we\u2019ve learned these past\u00a0few weeks, we feel better prepared for future assignments. We intend to continue communicating\u00a0and meeting with our project supervisors throughout the term to minimize\u00a0uncertainties\/misunderstandings and for support in achieving our project goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
