We created it using our own knowledge, and from additional research we did. By integrating opinions from our group members, our partners Anne and Rani, and our TA Tori, we managed to finish the proposal outline and the first submission.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Writing of the Proposal <\/span><\/p>\n Lessons We Learned \u2018The Hard Way\u2019 about Writing Proposals:<\/span><\/p>\n When we say \u201cthe hard way\u201d, we actually mean lessons we learned through thoughtful constructive criticism from our professor, teaching assistant and community partner. Undoubtedly, rejection hurts on any level, and when we first received our grade we all realized there was serious room for improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cohesion <\/span><\/p>\n We had difficulty making a cohesive proposal since every group member worked on different parts of the proposal which meant there was not a single, cohesive voice, but rather many disparate voices running throughout the proposal.<\/span><\/p>\n Readily Understandable Content<\/span><\/p>\n Complex language, jargon and obscure abbreviations do not belong in a proposal. Breaking down what we researched (food sovereignty, food security, community planning) into concise digestible paragraphs proved much more difficult than originally expected.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n So What? <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Importance of Cohesion<\/span><\/p>\n Cohesion not only reflects how we communicate as a group and finalize our projects, but is also important for effectively persuading the reader that our proposal holds credibility.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Importance of Understandable content <\/span><\/p>\n Having a crystal clear understanding of our project\u2019s objectives and goals will better allow us to make higher level connections from our research and to think critically about making improvements to the web application. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n These skills we have gained in the proposal creations <\/span><\/p>\n Improving communication and information sharing is not only a goal of the RFAM, but we now realize must be a goal for us to work toward as a group. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now What? <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In preparation for our feedback interviews about the application and the final presentation of our findings, we aim to make a several improvements to our team strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Upcoming Objectives and Strategies <\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next, we will be collecting data from the community organizations and grocery shops and obtain consents to publish their information. We are planning to achieve this by email and phone. Once we will gather all the information, then we will be entering them into the Excel spreadsheet provided by the Vancouver Coastal Health before March 5th. Based on the latest update that we provide, our community partner will then compile them into the Food Asset Map.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Towards the end of March, our team will do an infographic presentation on the final project and the final report will be completed by early April.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As for future assignments, we plan to complete all assignments at least 1 to 2 days before deadline. This can improve our time management skills and ensuring all assignments are submitted on time. We will also be having a small meeting for every assignment to assign roles and responsibilities. This can prevent any confusion or frustration within the group.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cComing together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.\u201d – Henry Ford Blog #2: Project Proposal + Progress PDF of Project Proposal: Proposal Weekly Objectives and Achievements Week 3 (Jan 22 – 28) Objectives: Arrange a meeting with our community partners from Vancouver Coastal Health, Anne Swann and Rani Wangsawidjaya, … <\/p>\n\n
