Overview
Week 1 focuses on choosing a business problem or opportunity for your individual capstone project that you will develop throughout the next seven weeks. For this discussion, you will begin that process by discussing potential challenges you may encounter.
Initial Post Instructions For your initial post, create a problem statement that highlights your project. Define your boundaries and expectations. Highlight individual experiences in making complex decisions and how you hope to manage barriers throughout the process. Be sure to include why critical thinking and problem-solving skills are important and some of the skills that you feel are your strengths.
Secondary Post Instructions Be sure to respond to at least two of your peers. Ask questions that will help your peers in developing their projects. Use some of your own experiences and ideas. Be as supportive as possible.
Writing Requirements • In addition to one initial post, respond to at least two peers. • Initial Post Length: minimum of 350 words • Secondary Post Length: minimum of 200 words per post • Use APA format for in-text citations and list of references. • Must include at minimum 1 scholarly references that is not the textbook.
Tips for Success At the start of our course, it is critical to focus on expectations listed. The minimum at the graduate level will earn an 80% score. An A represents complex analysis and demonstration of understanding. Courses are fast paced and require strong time management skills. Finally, restating readings does not achieve the goal. Instead, you must include scholarly references to illustrate this next level of learning.
