In both the formal report proposal and progress report assignments, students were required to select a topic of personal interest and develop a feasible timeline for completion. The chosen topic must have an attainable audience to enable the successful execution of the survey and the gathering of sufficient responses.
Initially, I proposed the idea of expanding the culturally informed food security approach for the South Vancouver Food Hub. However, feedback from my instructor and peers suggested that this topic may not be suitable for the project as it will be challenging to survey a venerable population and ask personal questions such as their income. Consequently, I switched to a more straightforward topic I am well-versed in and passionate about: mental programs for newcomer youth. The change in focus facilitated the communication of my ideas with enhanced confidence allowed for envisioning an appropriate timeline to complete a complex and lengthy project as outlined in the progress report.
Creating the survey questions was a straightforward task as there was a well-defined report topic and a clear understanding of the necessary data required to address the scope of inquiry.
Overall, the success of the formal report proposal and progress report can be attributed to my ability to stay well-organized, meet all the deadlines, and present the findings in a concise and coherent manner. This allowed me to showcase my expertise and competence in delivering high-quality work.
