Module 2 Assignment  

Assignment Description:

As you prepare the first chapter of the study, clearly state what the purpose of the project is and explain the project’s significance. The significance is addressed by discussing how the project adds to nursing's body of knowledge in the field and the project’s practical significance for communication among professionals in the field. Without a clearly defined introduction, purpose and strong theoretical grounding, the project is fundamentally flawed from the outset.

This chapter will be 4 pages (1,000 words) in length and should include at least 5 scholarly sources.

Module 4 Assignment  

Literature Review

The literature review describes and analyzes previous research on the topic or a gap in information that your project may fill. This chapter, however, should not merely string together what other researchers have found. Rather, you should discuss and analyze the body of knowledge with the ultimate goal of determining what is known and is not known about the topic.

This section should contain a discussion of OTHER PEOPLE's research. This is not the section to include information about your project. Do not include your own opinions or findings from your project. Begin by describing which databases you searched, search terms you used, how you narrowed your search, how you selected those references you will discuss in this section.

The Literature Review is what others have written that provide a foundation to the content of your project and support for the method you chose for delivery--does that help to expand it? A well-written Literature Review section demonstrates to the reader that you are expert in the problem and that you examined current, best practice to inform your project.

The Literature Review should begin with a paragraph that describes which databases you searched, which search terms you used, which strategies you used, and what you yielded. This shows the extent of your search. This section should be at least 10 pages and should have at least 30 sources. The content of this chapter should be separated with APA first and second level headings.

Module 6 Assignment  

Chapter 4 provides the reader with the results of the feedback from your evaluation tool. Describing the perspective and quotes from your reviewers will be important. You may compare and contrast the feedback findings for your project – keep in mind that you may not always agree with the feedback you have received. In this section, based on the comments and feedback from reviewers, you will make recommendations and potential changes which could be implemented to improve your project. You should add ideas on how to further disseminate your project (creating a DNP Project based on it, poster or podium presentations, inservices, etc.) This is not a chapter where you should be discussing other people’s published work except to say that the feedback from reviewers generally confirmed or were incongruent with previous published work. This chapter is usually 6-8 pages in length. Content should be separated with APA first and second level headings as appropriate.

Discussion of Findings

Feedback analysis, limitations of project approach, and conclusions drawn should be included. Discuss any concerns associated with the number of participants or reviewers. Share what your reviewers/participants said in the evaluation tool. Share actual quotes and how you organized the material. What conclusion can you draw from the feedback? Did it confirm or contradict research found in your literature review?

Recommendations

What are you going to do in the future with this project? Now that you finished the project, what are you going to do with this information and/or project?

Module 8 Assignment  

Capstone Project Oral Presentation.

The oral presentation will take place via teleconference within your community setting. You will be on camera and be asked to provide proof of identification, such as a passport or government issued ID card. Other faculty, administrative members of Aspen University and your guests may also be present. Thirty minutes will be allowed for the oral presentation. For the first twenty minutes, using a visual presentation, you will present your Capstone project, summarizing the aspects of the project that were reported in the formal paper. Visual aides must be included, and may be either a Powerpoint®, Impress®, Prezi®, or poster-board. For the final ten minutes, the Capstone Mentor/Instructor will have an opportunity to question you about various aspects of the project. If time allows, other audience or faculty members may also ask questions/seek clarification.

If the oral presentation is unsatisfactory, the student will be given one opportunity to improve performance. If a second “unsatisfactory” presentation is delivered, you will receive a failing grade for this course, which falls under the policies and procedures of Aspen University.

This module is worth 400 points of your final grade.

Please submit your Powerpoint®, Impress®, Prezi®, poster or other visual media in your oral presentation in the Oral Presentation drop box and upload a copy of the presentation to Project Concert.

In the comments section make certain to include the date and time of your completed oral defense.
