Acceptable; you should begin your research and writing. 2. Revise & resubmit: your proposal was vague and needs to be made more precise. Please revise and and resubmit no later than Mon., Feb. 26. Please feel free to talk to me, or email me, about how to make it better. 3. Unacceptable: your proposal was unacceptable in its current form. Please write a new proposal if you still want to do the optional term paper. The new proposal is due no later than Mon., Feb. 26. Please feel free to talk to me, or email me, for advice on writing a better proposal. (These 3 categories, by the way, are the typical ones when you submit a paper to a journal.) In all cases, please attach your current proposal, with my comments on it, to the next version. If you did not write a proposal, you can change your mind and hand one in at any time (the sooner, the better). If you did write a proposal and, at the last minute, decide you don't want to write the paper after all, that's fine (there's no penalty): Just let me know.
