This assignment is a very brief, informal proposal you will submit for your classmates to see. You will be able to look at all of your classmates’ proposals to help you choose who to form a 2-4 person team with.
You may have known who you wanted to team with from the beginning. If so, you both/all still need to write separate proposals, but you can indicate that you are on a team together and whether or not you are looking for other team members.
Think back to your previous assignments. You can use the idea you’ve already been working with, or you can tweak it a bit based on feedback you’ve gotten. You can even completely change it if you want.
