Group of college students around a table, sharing ideasWelcome to Week Eight of the course. This week we continue collaborating on the final projects of the term. Specifically, this week you’ll work with your group to write the portions of your group proposal, which pitches the topic for your recommendation report.

All of the work from now on in the course requires interacting with your group, so it’s important that you keep in touch with your group and meet the deadlines that your group has set.
