Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

There are two measurable outcomes with my Walk of Life project. The first is a transcript of the 36+ hours of interviews spanning the past 10 months that I have recorded with a local World War II veteran and former British Intelligence. The second measurable outcome is the formation of an outline for a book.I plan to work a total of 23 weeks: Transcript phase should be 11 weeks, and outline phase should take 12 weeks. Measured this way, it's easy to gauge that I'm on course. I expect to finish by the end of Feb 2014. My Capstone is in April 2014 so the weather will encourage veterans and older generations to attend.

Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal to transcribe the 36 hours of recorded interviews with my subject enabled me to create an outline of the transcripts for use in organizing the writing of a book.
