Time includes reading, practice, and questions. Extra videos or further study are optional.
See this course’s project requirements

A fictional awarded-program deliverable matrix with scope/due dates, activity-to-evidence links, unresolved reporting gaps, an authorized change request and a truthful narrative report.

Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.

What to include

  • Translate the supplied terms into deliverables, deadlines, period, owners and required evidence.
  • Show distinct accepted-output counts with duplicate/draft/date exclusions.
  • Link session and project evidence to the correct period.
  • Provide a gap plan and a separately labeled unsent amendment request.
  • Write a reconciled narrative that retains partial delivery and unresolved status.

Review and revise

Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.

  • Counts satisfy every stated unique-ID, acceptance and period condition.
  • Delivery and narrative deadlines are kept distinct.
  • Amendments change terms only with explicit authorized evidence.
  • The report states supported results and known gaps without fabricated success.

The idea in everyday life

Fictional award terms: reporting period October1–31 of a fictional program year. D1 requires four delivered sessions by October31, supported by session logs and host attendance records. D2 requires six distinct rubric-accepted project outputs within that period, each with ID, review date and reviewer decision. D3 is a narrative report due November5. A request to extend D2 to November15 has been drafted but not approved. These supplied terms govern the exercise only; actual awards may have different conditions. No real report is submitted. Session evidence: S1 October3, S2 October10, S3 October17 and S4 October24 all have signed logs and host attendance. The eight-row output register is unchanged.

The idea

A traceable claim links a deliverable to the records that satisfy its conditions. File-upload dates, activity dates and acceptance dates may answer different questions.

Link evidence to the stated reporting period — supplied practice

Copy as plain text
  1. 1. Link sessions

    Create D1 links to S1–S4 and verify both required evidence types for each.

    You should see: Four October sessions satisfy the supplied D1 evidence rule.

    A calendar entry alone would not establish delivery or attendance.

  2. 2. Link accepted outputs

    Create D2 links to A/B/C/D, including their review dates and reviewer decisions.

    You should see: Four traceable accepted outputs remain.

    The links support an inspectable output count.

  3. 3. Check period boundaries

    Place G’s November1 acceptance outside the October1–31 reporting period; preserve it for a possible later record rather than this count.

    You should see: G is not counted toward original October D2.

    Receiving or drafting earlier is not the stated acceptance date.

  4. 4. Write a source trail

    Add register row IDs and evidence status to the matrix so a reviewer can reconstruct each total without private learner details.

    You should see: D1 links four sessions; D2 links four accepted IDs with exclusions.

    Minimal identifiers can support accountability without unnecessary personal information.

Now change one thing

G was drafted October30 but accepted November1. Does it count under original D2? Enter yes or no.

Your work

What to finish

A deliverable-to-evidence crosswalk with period inclusion and exclusion reasons.

Common mistake

Watch for this

Using a file’s upload timestamp as a substitute for the condition’s required event or acceptance date.

How can I tell I understand it?

The report can be reconstructed from minimal record links.
