The process of putting together this MOU was useful in thinking ahead and managing expectations from myself and Dr. Voithofer. Initially, I had sent him an MOU that wasn’t as detailed as it should be. Being required to fill it out a bit more allowed me to really consider reasonable deadlines for specific interim goals within my broader outline of my project. Although it was tedious and hard to nail down specific dates so far ahead of time, it will serve me well when staying on task as I continue my redesign project.
