Write an e-mail to your instructor summarizing your progress on your report.

In the introductory paragraph, summarize your progress in terms of your schedule and your goals. Under a heading titled “Work Completed,” list what you have already done. (This is a chance to toot your own horn:

if you have solved problems creatively, say so. You can also describe obstacles you’ve encountered that you have not yet solved.) Under “Work to Be Completed,”

list what you still have to do. If you are more than two days behind the schedule you submitted with your proposal, include a revised schedule, listing the completion dates for the activities that remain.
