The Final Project is to be a 2500-3000 word paper.
- Part one of the Final Project is to be a well-crafted Project Plan.
- Part two of the Final Project is to be a Project Summary which gives a detailed narrative of the proposed project.

The summary section is to be written in accordance with APA standards which will require that you integrate appropriate in text citation. Further, you will be required to use a minimum of 5 sources to be included in the reference section.
