Failure to seek committee help, especially during the initial stages of project development. Inadequate data to complete the project. Believing one draft will be sufficient. Underestimating the amount of time it will take. Leaving school before turning in a first draft of the report.
Students often leave school before completing all requirements, often to accept a job.
The demands of a new job often preclude work on a professional project. Be aware of the above and ask for help when it is needed. Don't forget to use the professional project committee.
