Overview
Submit (as a single pdf file) the title, author list, introduction, methods, and references sections of your capstone project abstract. These are considered drafts of each section and can be revised later for the final submission. The title, author list, and introduction sections can be revised and resubmitted from the module 1 assignment. They must be submitted with this assignment. However, the only component that will be graded is the methods section. I am asking for the other sections as it is easier to understand the methods section in the context of the introduction and purpose of the project.
