Explain the need, goal, or outcome your project addresses. Why does this project exist? Min. 2 sentences

MOD 02 Progress Log 14 pts

02-A: 6 pts · 02-B (evidence): 8 pts

0 / 3 sentences

02-B — Evidence of Progress

Upload photos, screenshots, sketches, diagrams, or any documentation showing your project's current state. Add a caption to each. Min. 2 images required

0 / 2 images

Item	Full Credit	Pts

MOD 03 Current State Breakdown 12 pts

03-A (table): 7 pts · 03-B: 5 pts

List every major component or task in your project. Be honest with status - inaccuracy is penalized, partial progress is not.

03-B — Honest Assessment

In your own words: where does the project actually stand right now? Be direct. No inflation. Min. 2 sentences

0 / 2 sentences

Item	Full Credit	Pts

04-A: 4 pts · 04-B (timeline + contingency): 6 pts · 04-C: 4 pts

04-A — What still needs to be completed?

List everything that remains before your project is finished. Be specific about each outstanding task - do not summarize. Min. 3 sentences

0 / 3 sentences

04-B — Milestone Timeline & Contingency

Assign a real target date (MM/DD) to each remaining task. Cross-reference the DBTI Academic Calendar for school events, breaks, and deadlines. Then answer: what is your plan if you fall behind? "I will work harder" is not a plan. Min. 2 sentences for contingency

Remaining Task	Target Date	Dependencies / Notes

CONTINGENCY PLAN — if your timeline slips

0 / 2 sentences

04-C — What do you need?

Identify any resources, materials, approvals, equipment access, or help you are waiting on or will need before you can finish. If nothing is blocking you, state that explicitly. Min. 2 sentences

0 / 2 sentences

Item	Full Credit	Pts
04-A	All remaining work itemized. Specific language. Nothing major omitted.	4
04-B	Every task has a real date. Timeline is realistic. Contingency plan is actionable and specific.	6
04-C	Needs are specific and credible. Explicitly stated if none. Not vague ("just time").	4

Academic Integrity Declaration

The work described in this document is my own. All reported progress reflects effort I personally completed. I understand that misrepresenting my project status - including inflating progress, omitting known problems, or copying another student's submission - constitutes academic dishonesty.
