Guidelines and Suggestions for CT Assignments

The Critical Thinking (CT) Activities for this course require students to answer IT project management

related questions. Below are some guidelines and suggestions for writing your Critical Thinking

assignments:

The CT assignments are designed to include challenging exercises and cases to help you apply concepts

in the assigned chapter readings. They includes examples of real project documents that you can use to

practice your skills in managing IT projects, which will help the subject matter come alive with clear

meaning.

For each of these CT assignments, be sure to consider and include the following requirements:

 Title or cover page, summary or introduction, body, conclusion, and reference page.

 Appropriate APA formatted headings for each section, such as introduction and conclusion.

 Clearly worded explanations and written responses free of grammatical errors; grammar and

spelling should be checked prior to submission.

 Font and font size: 12-point Times New Roman, Arial, or similar style.

 Spacing: Spacing should be double-spaced and consistent throughout the project document.

 Software tools required: MS Word

 Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall

message.

Using the CSU-Global APA formatting guidelines and other writing tools for your CT assignments can

help you cite your sources to support your claims and to avoid plagiarism. Additionally, APA style

provides your instructor with a consistent format and style for grading your assignments. It is advisable

to make use of the many writing resources in the CSU-Global Library, including APA, plagiarism, tools for

effective writing, library tutorials, and links for conducting research.
