My professor has asked us to do this, but I'm having a little difficulty. My introduction alone is 102 words. I can shorten it, but I feel as if I'm ignoring much of the protocol for writing a proposal. Do you think she made a mistake? I know I'm being silly, but her 'tough' persona makes me reluctant to ask her this.
What do you think?

First of all, never hesitate to ask for clarification from a professor - you're paying her through tuition, so she is obligated to answer to you.
Regarding the 150-word limit, I imagine it's intentional and part of the importance of the exercise is most likely the skill of brevity. The constraints of time - yours as well as future employers, associates and clients - will make conciseness a critical element of your own success and sanity as you venture out into the workforce. Remember that no matter how intelligent or capable or driven you are, your abilities are of little use without the ability to effectively and efficiently present and market your ideas. It's partially a function of others' cramped schedules and short attention spans, but it also demonstrates clarity of thought.
Give it another try. Good luck!

I suppose you are speaking of a psychology proposal. Yes, you must write some of them within the 150 word limit. Read it aloud several time after each revision. Try making each word count. Do not worry about 105 in the introduction, think more about how you would tell someone about your project in 30 seconds. Good luck, and email me if you want another opinion.

You need not to elaborate your statement. State directly your proposition and its (somewhat) foreseeable outcome. Example:
"I propose to build a two-storey A-Type house with 3 bedrooms located at 24 Blank Street (right side of McDonald's), Seaside City, New State. Construction shall commence on November 26, 2006, contracted by Builders Inc. will one engineer, one foreman and twelve laborers. The projected date of completion is on February 25, 2007 at the latest. The cost of the entire project is at US$200,000."
Less than 150 words HAHA!

:No, your teacher didn't make a mistake. A proposal could be a lot shorter that 150 words. See Mike N. D's above, for example. Another example: "I'll mow your lawn for 20 bucks" is a shorter proposal.

people in the real world don't care about word count or 100% accurate format. if someone is reading your proposal then its a good bet that they also have to read about 1000 more that day. keep it short and to the point. 150 sounds right...
