Choice of Project:
You are in the best position to determine your choices of a project, as you are most familiar with your current situation. Every student's choice will be uniquely different. Past projects have been very diverse, some have been undertaken at a current work-site, some were done for school districts; others have been done for nonprofit organizations. Some have involved business startups, others solving existing problems. Some have involved designing web pages and web sites, others developing organizational solutions. Think of things that can showcase the range of your abilities.
Content:
All progress updates need to be written in MS Word or equivalent. The content needs to be brief and to the point, but complete. Be proactive in your writing, do not write about what you didn’t get done with excuses, but rather what you will bedoing and how you aregoing to insurethat it does get done.
**If you already have a specific project in mind, I will accept submissions of project ideas for review.**
If you have not yet developed a specific project, submit a description of the specific project requesting approval as soon as you are able – do not wait until the next Progress Update.
All Progress Updatesneed to contain the important information relating to your overall progress. If an item is important in your individual progress, put it in the update.
Mandatory Content by individual Progress Update:
- Progress Update 1: Initial generalproject ideas or possibilities; steps that you will be taking to investigate and discuss the project goals and objectives with the company or organization or steps that you will be taking to find a company or organization; what steps are you going to be doing next.
- Progress Updates 2 – 9: Where are you at in the process of the project; what has been done; what steps are you going to be doing next.
- Progress Update 10: How you have wrapped up the process of your project; steps taken to complete your written report.
Formatting:
Text Size:All of the text in this assignment needs to be set in 12-point size. Please resist the temptation to mix and match point sizes. If you doubt your applications intentions, just select all of your text and insure that it is in 12-point size.
Single Spacing:For this class select all of your text and set it for single spacing. This includes the name block, title and body of your work.
Margins:One-inch margins mean one (1”) on all sides. The only text that ends up on the outside of the one-inch margin is the page number.
Name Block:Place the name block in the upper right corner of the page. In this class, the name block only needs to be on the first page. Put your name first , then the class title and then the date . Remember to change the due date for each week. Example:
Your Name
October 6, 2014
Title:All updates will have a title. Please place the title just below the name block. The title format for this assignment is “Progress Update 1”. Remember to change the number for each week.
Spelling/Grammar Checking:Remember to do your spelling and grammar checking before turning your assignments in. When doing the spelling/grammar checking keep in mind that some words such as mush and must, woods and words, or here and cow, will not be caught by either check. To correct these problems, you will need to proofread your work.
Page Numbers:Any assignment that has more than one page, needs to have page numbers on it. Please place your page numbers on the bottom of the page. In MS Word, use the footer selection and place the page number in the bottom center or bottom right of the page.
