2015 SDRO Project Resource Page
Below you will find selected resources and materials for the SDRO Life Cycle Project. Please keep in mind you are not limited to just these resources. These are the resources found in our textbook that I've made available to you without having to login to the online book.
Project Description
The following handout describes the general requirements for the project. Be sure your project meets all of the general requirements before submitting it for grading!

Commonly Asked Questions
- Can we use pictures from outside of class (e.g. from a website)? No. All pictures must have been taken by you, a classmate, or are a screenshot from the textbook.
- Do we need a bibliography? Yes. You are required to provide citations for any work that you use that is not yours. This is standard practice in the sciences (and all academic fields).
- Do we need to submit the story board? No.
- Does our written piece need to be a formal essay/script? No. This is as simple as whatever you read from when you are recording your voice. I want a copy of this to make it easier to grade your project. Some students are typing bullet points while others are writing short paragraphs. It's up to you but you must submit it with your final product.
- When exactly is this due? The deadline to submit to Schoology is 11:59pm on Friday, December 11th. The assignment will be locked out at that time. No late submissions will be accepted.
- Is there a checklist we can use to confirm our project meets all the requirements? Yes! Refer to the project sheet above.
