Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to continue the problem-solving process of the client’s request by developing a solution. Additionally, the purpose of this assignment is to scaffold the writing process of your final consulting pitch. In this assignment you will first provide a detailed description of your solution. Then you will describe the ways in which you will assess whether your solution was successful or not.
Directions & Questions to Answer
Write in full paragraph APA style. This will allow you to edit and revise for your full written pitch. See paper format for the headings and subheadings in the APA format module.
Include revised past work from previous assignments (I will not grade these sections, just provide feedback). Make sure these sections are in APA style with headings, full sentences and paragraphs:

3. Qualifications
4. Identify the Problem
5. Define, Clarify, and Understand the Problem
6. Identify the Root of the Problem

8. Describe what your solution is to the client’s request. List in a step-by-step fashion. This is not the assessment of your solution but what the research suggests that you should say to your client.

10. How do HDFS theories justify your solution (from previous assignment but expand and refine)?
11. How and who will implement the solution? This is the process of your solution, not the assessment of your solution.
12. What are the risks of implementing the solution?
How will you know if it works? This information comes from your imagine your study assignment. Essentially, you can use the imagine your study assignment to fill out this section in APA style paragraph form.
13. What is the research question of your assessment? In other words, what do you want to know when you complete your assessment of the solution?
14. What is the design of your assessment (see Imagine Your Study assignment for a start)? Meaning, how will you create a way to answer your question? Be sure to include your participants, design type, IVs and DVs (if you have them), procedure sections, etc.
15. How would you measure the success or failure of your solution? Meaning, what is the mark of success or not? How do you know this measurement is accurate (reliable) and what you want to know (valid)?
