TCM490: Telecommunications Management Senior Project
Journal Format

Introduction

The journal provides an individual project notebook. It is a general journal in which the member can document contact information, installation procedures, testing notes, technical skills learned, management notes, ideas, and other items that may or may not become part of an official report or deliverable. The journal will not be kept by DeVry at the end of the project; however, the journal will be reviewed periodically and following the project completion. The amount of work and detail for the journal is not specified; however, reliable notes and logs can be a valuable support document. CYAWP!

• The Project Journals may be handwritten or typed journals.
• The journals must be kept updated throughout the term - the coordinator reserves the right to inspect the journals weekly.
• Every entry should be time and date "stamped" for accuracy - in other words, record the date and note the time spent working on the project.
• All pages will be numbered.
• The final version of the journal should include a cover page to identify the project and student.
