Analyze the information you find on the internet in relation to the readings.  For example, does it fit theprofile of a good analysis?  Is it a framework for designing a project?  Are there actual findings, and if so,are they appropriate given the authors’ definitions of good projects?  Do they give you a way forwardfor your project proposal?After you thoroughly analyze the information, explain how it can either be 1) redesigned to be moreeffective, or 2) used as a framework for your own project proposal.
