Project 4

ProjectInstrOUTLINE.docx
The instructions for the final project are standardized and provided by the department, meaning I can’t change them.
However, here are some pointers and key areas of focus to help you navigate this project! Use this in conjunction with your syllabus instructions and read the syllabus instructions VERY carefully, pay attention to the requirements embedded in the sentences. In fact, I would construct each heading and subheading according to the required areas listed in your instructions. Here are some formatting directions for subheadings and a rough example for organization of your project with subheadings.
APA Headings Level Formatting Guidelines:
1 Centered, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase
2 Left-aligned, Boldface, Uppercase and Lowercase Heading (begin body on next line with a normal indent)
3 Indented, boldface, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period.
4 Indented, boldface, italicized, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period .
5 Indented, italicized, lowercase heading with a period. Begin body text after the period.
EXAMPLE:
Introduction and Identification of Problems (1st level)
Participant Name and Problem #1
(You will do this 12 times) (2nd level subheading, left justified, paragraph begins
next line after heading-double space. I will not double space the rest of this example to save space, but don’t forget to do it! Make sure you check your settings to be a true double space-nothing less and nothing more)
Training Program: Session One (8 of these)
Session One Title (2nd level)
Gender and Hostility in the Workplace
Objectives (2nd level)
The goal of this course is to
· define gender,
· define hostility,
· identify areas of hostility…(You can use bullets and or level three subheadings to list/organize).
Problem (2nd level)
State the participants problem(s) you will address with this session
Journal articles and websites
Journal. List one peer review (ACADEMIC) article that is relevant to the issue/problem using an APA formatted reference. Provide a brief summary.
Website. List one website that is relevant to the issue/problem and put into APA formatted reference. Provide a brief summary of what it is.
Activity
Create and describe an activity that will promote discussion and understanding among the participants. Vary the delivery, activities, and be creative.
Provide enough information in the breakdown of the activity that someone could replicate your activity in a general way. For example, you don’t have to list every item on a survey, but you could state that you took an anonymous survey on attitudes about gender biases to gauge understanding on an issue before asking participants to brainstorm examples of overt biases and less overt biases. Then, you had a discussion or maybe a guest speaker to share an experience to promote deeper understanding and empathy before the group identified ways they could improve.
Session Two (Centered, bold)
Session Two Title
Objectives
Problem
Journal Articles/Websites
You can put the link of the site here with an APA formatted reference for each, and you won’t need to do it again on a reference page.
Activity
...... continue to do this for the 8 sessions.
Final Training Report (see syllabus for guidelines for content)
Culture/History
Gender Differences
Relationships
Gender Expectations
Benefits of This Training Course
Recommendations for Change (4 -6 of them)
Recommendation one. Your text begins after period
Recommendation two. .
Your last page of the report is your Reference page, and it only contains references used as support in your paper. You do not need to repeat the website/article references embedded in the sessions IF YOU LISTED THEM THERE AS A FULL REFERENCE as instructed. Reference page is also APA formatted. Pay attention to exact format and hanging indent (2nd line is indented). Double space each line! The title “References” will be at the top of the page.

Your ENTIRE project submission must be in “loose” APA format, meaning you have leniency in terms of title page, headers etc. and can take some creative liberties… but all in-text citations and the reference page should be APA formatted. Whatever you do, make sure it is well organized and easy for me to see all the required elements.
· Present a cover/title page; this does not have to be APA formatted.
· All subsequent pages are your participants complaints, your training program, and your training report.
· Follow it up with an APA formatted reference page if you cited borrowed information. Make sure to use APA formatted in-text citations where applicable.
· Double space entire body, font 12, Times New Roman, 1” margins on all side, and use headings and subheadings to organize.
If you are not familiar with APA formatting, or even if you are and would like a good reference or view a SAMPLE PAPER (very helpful), my favorite APA site is Purdue Owl. Here is the link:
