Just a friendly reminder (again!) about your final for this course, due Day 7 of Week 9. You should be well on your way with this project if you have been following the “On Track” benchmarks that have been provided each week of the term. Please be sure you are using the project guidelines and final project rubric documents to guide the development of your assignment.
I am confident that each one of you will be able to develop an interesting and insightful project by following the resources provided. To further assist you, a template (topic template/not format) has been provided for your final project. Please make sure you use the template – this is a requirement.However, please note that the template is not a format template — it is a content template. Do not write your whole paper in italics 🙂
Follow APA 7 form and style.
At this point, you should be expanding the outline you developed for your final project. If you haven’t gotten to this point, this is a good week to catch up and get a jump on that final paper. Outlines can help you gather and structure your ideas and help ensure that you address all required objectives of assignments. From a basic outline, expand the key points in stages until you have a series of sentences that fully address each stage of the lifespan. Next, ensure that your assignment has “flow” in that the sentences, paragraphs, and sections work together to support the thesis of your paper (which should be clearly defined in the introduction, and reviewed in the conclusions).
