One may compare working on a project to a clay-modeler creating a human statue. The modeler creates the body parts one by one with the vision of integrating them to generate the final form. Similarly, this is the first of three required parts that will be integrated in the course Final Project.

As you progress through this course you are invited to reflect on the influence math has in your daily life.

To prepare for this Final Project: Part I:

Think about the concepts that you have studied so far and identify how they relate to you.
By Day 6
Assignment: Prepare Part 1 of your Final Project report. Complete the following:

Identify one skill you have acquired or improved upon during the first two weeks of this course.
Explain how this skill can be applied in two of the following areas: your personal, academic, and/or professional life.
Include an example to support and/or represent the skills you have identified.
Cite any resources you may have used.
Note: Remember that you can revise this after receiving feedback from your Instructor and while compiling your Final Project report due in Week 6.
