Prepare for a proposal session
What to bring so your proposal coaching starts from your ideas, not from scratch.
Write the question badly first. Fix it later.
Proposal sessions work best when you arrive with a few loose threads, however unfinished they feel.
- Write two or three sentences on what interests you and why.
- Note any sources you have already read, even one or two.
- Jot down the questions that keep coming back to you.
- Bring your department's proposal guidance or template.
Your coach will ask questions and help you narrow things down. You do not need a finished question before the first session.
