The project includes two quantitative analyses (Vowel formants and short vs. long vowel durations). Only one analysis is required for undergraduates. The transcriptions are not necessarily correct in all cases, but the overall format is excellent. It would have been a bit better to include the glosses (English meanings) along with the transcriptions.
The text of the project (4 pages) can viewed here (pdf). The tables and transcriptions that the student produced, and links to corresponding audio files are given below.
