Part 1: Professional Goals
Professional Introduction
Start off with a clear paragraph that describes your academic and professional goals. Include the name of your specialization, if relevant, and possible career goals and special academic interests. List past professional and personal efforts that you will likely carry into future work. This paragraph will be extremely useful to assist those assigning mentors who will guide your academic work after HUMN 6000/8000 is completed.
Professional and Academic Background
Discuss your education and work history, using details to help create a clear picture of the chronology, locations, and type of work or study involved. You do not need to provide elaborate details here as you will be discussing the nature of your past pursuits in Part 2.
Goal Statements and Their Relation to Academic Research
Here you will answer the question of how your graduate study at Walden will contribute to meeting your overall goals. Be sure to discuss both your goals and how you expect to achieve them through academic research. Here, you might refer to your tentative dissertation topic.
Reflection of Walden’s Mission Statement
Discuss how Walden’s mission statement corresponds to your own philosophy and goals. Be sure to demonstrate that you have read the mission statement by using specific examples from the statement itself.
Attainment of the Advanced Degree Related to Goals
Discuss how an advanced degree from Walden will help you attain your goals. Why did you choose this university and/or online environment above all others?
Part 2: Educational Background and Research Proficiency
In this section, discuss your academic and relevant personal proficiencies. Consider using subheadings to separate different sections of this part of your narrative. See the resources on the Writing Center website for instructions on formatting APA headings.
Academic Coursework in the Social and Behavioral Sciences
This is your chance to elaborate on your educational background and competencies. You may choose to list in bulleted form your most relevant courses.
Academic Coursework in Other Fields
Here you should elaborate on your educational background, competencies, past research, relevant coursework, publications, and other academic achievements. You may choose to list in bulleted form your most relevant courses.
Professional Presentations, Seminars, Training, and Workshops
Discuss any training, skills, or other experience related to your professional endeavors.
Volunteer Work
If relevant, discuss work you have done in your community that has inspired your current course of study.
Past Research, Publications, and Teaching Assignments
If relevant, discuss past research you have been involved with, along with any of your teaching assignments. If you have published research in the past, list the publications.
Access to Research Materials
Describe the availability of databases, information technology, and other research materials necessary for graduate study. Think about local libraries, resource centers, and your professional contacts to which you may have access.
Academic and Research Strengths and Weaknesses
In this section you should analyze the strengths and weaknesses you bring to graduate study, the opportunities or assets you have to help you, and any situations or conditions that may pose a threat to your success. You should also give your faculty a sense of how they may help you meet your goals, so give an honest account of this analysis.
Conclusion
Wrap up this section with your perspective on your readiness for graduate study.
Part 3: Plan of Study and Program of Study Form
Overall Learning Goals
Describe your goals for study at Walden, using as much detail as you can at this point. How do you plan to use Walden’s course offerings? What are your goals for the courses you plan to take?
Description of Coursework
Discuss your plan for taking courses here at Walden. Be sure to browse through the course catalog, paying attention to the differences among the courses and the content they will include. Think about each course in your Program of Study (POS), and spend some time here discussing what you hope to learn from these courses.
We understand that your ideas will change and develop as you move through the program, but we want you to get your creative ideas flowing, identify reasons to spend more time with the resources for your studies and in dialogue with other scholars and fellow students, and be more prepared for your first conversations with your Instructors.

SCORE A+ WITH HELP FROM OUR PROFESSIONAL WRITERS – Assignment: Professional Development Plan
We will process your orders through multiple stages and checks to ensure that what we are delivering to you, in the end, is something that is precise as you envisioned it. All of our essay writing service products are 100% original, ensuring that there is no plagiarism in them. The sources are well-researched and cited so it is interesting. Our goal is to help as many students as possible with their assignments, i.e. our prices are affordable and services premium.
- Discussion Questions (DQ)
Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
- Weekly Participation
Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week. Assignment: Professional Development Plan
- APA Format and Writing Quality
Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
- Use of Direct Quotes
I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
- LopesWrite Policy
For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
- Late Policy
The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
- Communication
Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
