Writing Sample: Proposal

At the top of each writing sample or on the page where they are linked (if you made a linked page like "professional materials" example on this site), it is important to give a brief explanation of the assignment requirements, and perhaps the strengths of your assignment. 

 

Example:

​

This assignment asked us to write a formal research proposal, UCF Office of Undergraduate Research's "Student Research Grant." 

​

This sample showcases my ability to clearly outline a research project in my area of interest, which is underwater basket weaving. I enjoy this activity as a hobby and hope one day to help others see, through research, its value to society.

I highly suggest copying and pasting your assignment here in text for maximum accessibility. If you post a link to a PDF or Word file, your visitor has to download it. If you post it as an image, people who use screen readers will not be able to read it at all.
