 * Is there evidence of reflective thinking for observed and projected social impacts in criterion K?

Log Book
The logbook is vital part of the project and should contain regular, dated entries about what the student has done related to the project. Students are also encouraged to draw rough diagrams, sketches or paste copies of any associated printout documents in the logbook that may not necessarily be included in the appendices.

Note: The logbook will be checked regularly, signed, and dated.

Make sure to refer to the sample logbook entries!
