📝

FEEDBACK: Knowledge, this sounds like a super interesting project. However, I'd like to better understand what you want to get out of this project. For example, how will you use your "creative side" in this project? What skills do you want to develop? How will this project add to your daily life (as in, do you plan to use this regimen yourself)?

where did the skills go? we are taking skills out of the idea generation process, in an attempt to make projects more career-focused. If you want to get leveled-up for a project, share it with the appropriate guide or faculty member for feedback upon completion.

Guiding Question

Turn your idea above into a guiding question.

Check out some resources on how to write a guiding question here.

💡

What are the best exercises for boxing?

📝

FEEDBACK: This is a great first draft of your guiding question! In further revisions you'll want to focus on making it more specific. Imagine that your guiding question should provide any random person who has no idea what your project is about with all of the information they'd need to understand what you're trying to understand. So, in order to make it more specific you can ask yourself questions and use the answers to make a more specific guiding question. For example, are you trying to learn the best boxing exercises for a beginner boxer or someone who is really advanced? Are you trying to learn the best exercises for conditioning for boxing or for practicing the moves? Is there a specific goal you want to meet and a timeframe that you need to meet it in? And, of course, tons more questions like these!

FEEDBACK: The purpose of the Work Product Deliverables is for you to think through the entirety of your project in depth so you can identify all of stages that you'll need to complete. For example, "Start project" is far too generic as it does not tell me what you're aiming to accomplish in specifics. Please revise your Work Product Deliverables so that they identify specific goals you'll need to accomplish on your way to your final work product.
