ACTIVITY INSTRUCTION

Throughout the first half of the course, you have been hard at work on your capstone project. For this assignment, submit your work to date for feedback on your progress toward demonstrating your program outcomes. The more complete your draft, the more guidance and specific feedback your instructor will be able to provide. For this assignment, complete the following:

• Prepare a comprehensive outline of your project, including the headings and subheadings you will use in your final submission.
• For each section, include the following:
  • A partial or complete draft of your analysis and content.
  • A summary of any missing components that will be included in your final draft.
  • All data and references that support your work in the appropriate APA format.
  • A list of data types and references that are missing or still being explored.

For this assignment, you will be graded on whether you have shown measurable progress on program outcomes by turning your outline into an actual rough draft, and communicating the progress that you have made so far, as well as what areas you are still working on. Your instructor will provide feedback on your draft to help you gauge your progress on demonstrating your program outcomes. Review the Capstone Project Draft scoring guide prior to submission to ensure you understand expectations for this assignment.

Note: Your instructor may also use the Writing Feedback Tool to provide feedback on your writing. In the tool, click the linked resources for helpful writing information.
