10 Sep Final draft project
Assignment Instructions
This week your final draft project is due. That does not mean less than final! It only means that I will provide feedback to be incorporated into the final version that will be filed in the library and that you can take away as part of a portfolio or present to your supervisor/project manager. The project should include the cover page, contents, and other formatting as per the manual. It should also include an abstract, introduction, literature review, findings/journal, and the end result of the project itself.
The following checklist may prove helpful!
- Must address at least one of our current program objectives
- Title Page exactly as in End of Program Capstone Manual but noting a Project instead of thesis
- University publication license/copyright page
- Dedication (optional)
- Acknowledgement (optional)
- Abstract with correct title heading
- Table of Contents
- Dot leaders
- Left justified
- Double spaced between entries
- Make sure to list Appendices after References
- List of Tables
- List of Figures
- List of Acronyms/Abbreviations if applicable
- NOTE: The formatting is in the Capstone Manual (EOP Manual). There is a link to it along with examples of other capstone projects linked on the very front page of your classroom. You will find the formatting example on page 46 and 47 of the EOP manual. The front matter should be formatted as the examples on page 52 – 60 show. So you need a title page that looks like that but with your info, and all the other required pages.
- APA format if not otherwise indicated by the agency for which the project is being done
- The rest of the capstone project is flexible as far as format
- If there is not a required format by your agency then it should be a narrative with an intro, lit review, analysis, explanation then their project in the appendix (remember it still has to be the equivalent of the 50-page thesis but you don’t have to go straight by page limit, particularly if much of your work is gathering data, etc. and the reporting does not take that many pages)
- If you have a format that the agency for which they are doing the project requires use that. For instance, if it is an Army white paper for leadership, it will be in the format required by that style manual which is not APA and different than ours. That is fine. If it is a grant submission that will be the bulk of the design but you will still need to cover the background aspects in a lit review, etc.
- The lit review may be more grounded in comparative analysis of “best practices” of other agencies, etc. An initial lead-in of scholarly sources is recommended but this is grounded in practice not theory.
- The idea is to make this project as practically applicable as possible.
- The final project should also include either an executive summary or PPT which you will use to present the information
- It is strongly encouraged that this happen prior to the end of class and the feedback be incorporated as an appendix
- THIS SHOULD BE A SEPARATE DOCUMENT AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE INITIAL PAPER!!
- Appendices
- IRB approval in appendix if utilized
- Any information that was used that is the result of human behavioral research will need to be taken out of the submission if IRB approval not received
- The journal in this class is a separate assignment and NOT included in the final paper (despite what the Capstone Manual says)
Assignment Instructions
Three Minute Capstone
Class, there is a competition made popular by the University of Queensland called the Three Minute Thesis. You can find details athttp://threeminutethesis.org/ . We are just introducing this assignment into our Capstone Thesis and Project class in order to begin the process of building a similar program here. At this point though, it is just an assignment in class.
Specifically, this assignment is to create one slide that exemplifies your thesis or project topic and narrate the research question/project, overarching literature, your analysis/description and your conclusion/recommendations – all in three minutes! ONLY. No more and not much less. The idea is for you to condense your research into a short presentation to familiarize others with your research/project and findings. We will share there narratives the last week of class.
The format must be one slide with narration. Power Point has a narrative feature but at times produces very large files. Knovio has a free plan athttp://www.knovio.com/pro/knovio-monthly-plans/ and produces a nice product. You are free to use any other means you have to produce this three-minute capstone but it has to be something that can be viewed by all. Specialty or licensed applications are not always viewable by all formats. Please upload your finished product in the final forum and the final assignment both. The one in the assignment will be graded.
