The task for the class here is to select an appropriate project for the course. Consideration
should be given to the fixed end-of-term deadline, the limited monetary but large personnel
resources available, the irrelevance of financial returns, and the availability of contacts and
good project possibilities outside the classroom. As indicated in Chapter 1, there are often
many excellent projects on a college campus, such as in the residence halls, the library, the
cafeteria, the medical care office, and so on. When evaluating these situations for potential
projects, consider factors such as whether the class has a good inside contact to sponsor the
project, whether data will be easily accessible for the class, how many students the
organization or department can handle at a time, how extensive the project is, how clear the
problem/opportunity is, when they will need an answer, and other such important issues.
