If your instructor or program director opens bidding for your projects (as opposed to directly assigning students into projects), you can indicate your interest in specific projects by ranking (or scoring) your top choices.
Placing your bid
You will receive an email notification when bidding is opened that includes a direct link to your bid response page. Click this link to complete bidding.
Completing your bidding
Below is an example bidding page. If additional project details are available, there will be an arrow next to the project summary text. EduSourced supports ranking and scoring as the two available means for project bidding. Read below for a detail of each.
Project ranking
1 represents your top choice for a project, 2 represents your second choice, etc. The screen below reflects the ranking option for project bidding.
Project scoring
Scoring lets students claim multiple projects at the same level, often providing more successful matching outcomes. The interface for this is an easy-to-understand slider as seen in this student view:
If any additional questions are being asked, they will be displayed below the project list. When you're done click submit at the bottom of the page.
Note: that you do not need to assign a ranking to all projects and that the system will not let you assign the same ranking to multiple projects and that scoring does allow multiple projects to be scored at the same level. To undo a ranking simply click the highlighted number again to remove it.
When you are assigned to a project you will receive an email notification with the link to access it. More info on accessing your project here.
