Assignment Dates
- Target Due Date: By 11:59 PM on Friday, October 25, 2024.
- Grace Period: Your group will set the end of the grace period for submitting your self-check. All work must be submitted by 11:59 PM on Friday, December 6, 2024.
What I Want You to Do
Assess your Group Proposal by completing one of the two self-check options. Both list the Proposal Criteria. If you have trouble deciding which option to choose, the Self-Check Options Explained page can help.
Each member of your group needs to complete either this self-check or the self-check with AI to receive credit, as Canvas has no system for group Quizzes. You can submit the self-check as many times as you’d like to see how your work compares to the expectations for the project.
Why I Want You to Do It
In the workplace, you should be able to compare your work against a list of specifications to determine if your project is complete. This self-check works just that way: You should be able to confirm every one of the project criteria in the checklist before you consider the project ready to submit.

How You Do It
- Review the Proposal Criteria, which outlines the requirements for the assignment.
- Complete the checklist below, indicating the criteria for the project that you have met.
- Submit your checklist responses and check your point total for the activity:
- If the checklist is marked 1 point for your Self-Check responses, your group has completed the activity successfully and are ready to submit your final version to the Proposal Assignment.
- If the checklist is marked less than 1 full point, work with your group to revise the proposal to meet the criteria that you did you marked “False.” You should be able to confirm all the criteria before you submit your project.
How to Assess and Track Your Work
Work is always marked as either 1 for Complete or 0 for Incomplete:
- Canvas will mark this activity Complete in Grades automatically when you confirm you have met all of the Proposal Criteria.
- Canvas will mark this activity Incomplete in Grades automatically if you do not confirm that you have met all of the Proposal Criteria by the end of the grace period.
- I will mark this activity Incomplete if I find your project does not meet the Proposal Criteria. You can submit an updated Self-Check after you revise your project.
