This checklist outlines the critical phases of the Car Purchase Project, guiding students through a systematic research and analysis process. Phase 1 focuses on team organization, ensuring each member knows their role. Phase 2 involves gathering essential data about prospective cars, including total ownership costs, insurance quotes, and driving-related metrics. Students will engage in analysis and select their preferred vehicle with justification. Finally, Phase 3 culminates in the creation of deliverables, including a poster board presentation and a comprehensive report comparing selected cars.
