Key points to determine

• Is there an assignment topic or can you select your own?
• What is the project format (e.g. paper, video, your choice, etc.)?
• What is the required length?
• What are the various project due dates (proposal, draft, final project, etc.)? Add the dates to your calendar and give yourself time for editing! 
• What “citation style” does your professor want? APA? MLA?
• Is there a grading checklist or rubric? Determining how the points are distributed helps you figure out where to spend your time.
