Welcome back to our Blog!

During the past week, our group completed our project proposal! (see Project proposal post for more detail). Unfortunately, our group was not able to complete this in time for our in-class proposal presentation. This is mainly result of miscommunication with our community partner. A quick note to future LFS 350 class seed project group: you should try to set up a timeline with the community partner early, that way your project schedule with the community partner can match with the class schedule. Despite all the difficulties we had with our proposal presentation, our classmates and TA (teaching assistance) was able to help us by point out some flaws we need to work on for this project.

A key issue around “sustainability” was brought to our attention during the propose presentation. We repeated used the term “sustainable/sustainability”, but never really defined what does sustainability mean to us. There are many methods to be sustainable, and that is why we must define the term before we can apply it to our project and help people to understand it. This will be one of the key issue we shall focus on for as progress for the final project.

A quick update on project progress. Our group shall once again meet with our community partner on Thursday at 2pm this week. We will be discussing project direction and timeline. Hopefully it will finalize a plan for our final project! Update on this event will be post! See you again at our next Wednesday post!
