IHP 525 Journal Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

The journal activities in this course are an ongoing, private conversation between you and the instructor. In each journal assignment, you will draft responses to sections of Final Project Article

Review. While a certain level of informality is permitted, proper grammar, spelling, and APA citations are required. Your journal posts should re�ect academic rigor.

A course journal is generally made up of many individual assignments. In this course, each assignment will be graded individually, but they will all be polished and used to create one �nal

document to be submitted in Module Eight as your Final Project Article Review.

Prompt

For each journal assignment, the following critical elements must be met:

Ful�ll all requirements in the individual prompt.

Provide relevant application of course concepts.

Support ideas and observations with examples from your own personal or professional situation.

What to Submit

Submit assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
