1Right, so we've finally agreed to base our group project on the circular economy, haven't we?
2Yes, but we still need a specific industry; the tutor said our scope was too broad.
3I'd originally proposed fast fashion, though I'm now leaning rather strongly towards consumer electronics instead.
4Electronics works well because several major manufacturers already run take back schemes that we could evaluate.
5Don't forget the deadline: the proposal is due on Monday, not Wednesday as the handbook says.
6Really? The printed handbook definitely said Wednesday, but I'll trust the more recent email from the department.
7For data, we could interview a repair cafe coordinator rather than distributing another online questionnaire.
8Good idea; questionnaires gave us weak responses last term, whereas interviews produced far richer material.
9We should also carefully distinguish refurbishment from recycling, because the marker explicitly penalises vague or sloppy terminology.
10Agreed, and it's clearly the refurbishment stage, not the recycling, that retains by far the most value.
11Let's divide the essential reading tonight and compare our annotated notes together before Thursday's supervision session.
