The requirements for submission are described in Section One of the Applied Capstone Project template on pages 8-12 and the corresponding grading rubric for this assignment.
Please see the Capstone Project Template for more detail. The minimum required headings are given in the template. Do not delete or alter any of the given headings. You must also include appropriate subheadings to organize your work. Include a minimum of 10 references in current APA format.
