Module 5: Capstone Project – Presentation and Evaluation Instructions

 

NOTE: You will create two new electronic files for this assignment instead of typing directly into this document.
Overview: Capstone Project – Presentation and Evaluation
Your project should represent high-quality work – something you would expect to see in a professional setting. Perhaps your employer will be interested in facilitating
its use in a real-life situation!
You will upload your PowerPoint for grading. You will also upload the forms or documents you would use for evaluation (two evaluation tools will be created) of your
information dissemination. These might be in the form of informal observation records and/or formal tests or questionnaires. (This evaluation portion will be submitted
as one Word document. See below for all that must be included). There is a separate portal for each portion of the assignment in Blackboard.

InstructionsYou will create your project’s presentation and evaluation tools as an electronic files.
PowerPoint Portion of Assignment (Assignment 2):
PresentationYou will submit a Power Point presentation containing a title slide, 10-15 slides each with comprehensive content demonstrating use of your peer-reviewed sources, and
reference slides. Remember to include a source for each image or graphic included on the slides; this is easiest done directly on the slide under or next to the image.
Your “talking points” are considered speaker notes and should contain 20-30 minutes of “talk time.” Information read directly from the slide should be included in the
speaker notes. We recommend you time yourself while reading your speaker notes to determine if your presentation is within the 20-30 minutes for content. Your speaker
notes should be written exactly as you would be speaking to your audience. You do need to include citations in your speaker notes. Be sure to include all of your
references on the reference slide(s).
Evaluation Portion of Project (Assignment 3):(This will be one document with all of the following included in that document)
Title PageCreate a title page according to the standard for the UTA College of Nursing.
Evaluation (2 Tools are required – one for quality and one for content)You may create a new Word document for most of the types of evaluation tools you would use, such as tests, questionnaires, charts for observations notes, etc. Create
two evaluation tools. Include all in the same file as separate pages with clear headings and instructions designating the use of each tool.
Other types of evaluation tools you might use are databases or spreadsheets. It is important that you design such tools so that you need only to upload and submit one
file, though, so if you use a combination of Word documents and spreadsheets, copy/paste the contents of the spreadsheets into the Word document to create a single
file.
Evaluation form requirements: You must submit two evaluation forms. One form will address evaluation of content (example: a post-test or survey, audit form) and one
form will address quality (rate the presentation, speaker, and environment; consider using a Likert scale). Remember you will create both forms for this assignment. Do
not copy forms from other sources.  Include the time, place, and who you presented presentation. Also, discussion on the methods you used to evaluate your project.
Include why the method, how you will use the results, and plans for improvement.
GridYou will include the full completed grid from Module 3. Please be sure to make any needed changes based on feedback from your coach.
Evaluation ParagraphYou must include at least a paragraph (minimum 100 words) to discuss the methods to evaluate your Project. Include why the method you have chosen to evaluate the
project is appropriate. Include in your paragraph how will you will take results from the evaluation and change or improve the presentation.
Reference PageCreate a formal reference page including all of your nine (or more) references from your project. Please be sure to use formal APA format. Refer to your APA manual for
any questions.

(15 Points) Grid is missing items.  Lacks either a visual or a verbal strategy. 4 or more APA/grammar errors.(10 Points) Grid is not completed. More than 4 APA errors. Weak or no statement of how information will be presented.(0 Points)IndicationsDescribe in the space below the topic, problem, or issue within the focus area that your Capstone Project will address. Explain why this issue is important and why you
selected it in particular. Provide examples of situations related to the issue in your practice and other examples you might expect to see in your selected focus area.• The focus of my paper centers on the murky distinction between nursing administration roles and nursing management roles, and how a misunderstanding of the two
can lead to confusion and lead to issues resolving conflict in the healthcare workplace. I chose this issue because I wanted to take the opportunity to learn more
about nurse administrators and the role they play in this system, as I am already familiar with the function of nurse manager. I also chose this topic because it is
important for nurses like myself and patients to understand the difference, so that any issues that arise from the patient’s end may be solved efficiently by
contacting, depending on who is better equipped to provide the solution, and any conflicts within the nursing hierarchy can be limited if not avoided altogether.

AudienceDescribe in the space below your target audience, including the setting for which your information dissemination will be planned. This project is designed for an in-
person setting so an internet or online audience/setting would not be appropriate for your presentation. You may mention other populations who would benefit from this
information as well, but explain why you decided to address your target audience.• The target audience for this presentation is ground nurses and the patients they serve on a daily basis. This presentation is meant to help them better
understand the difference between a nurse administrator and a nurse manager and how that difference plays out in healthcare delivery. I have targeted these two groups
(nurses and patients) because they are the ones supremely affected by a misunderstanding of the two nursing roles. Patients and their families who do not under the
distinction between administrator and manager run the risk of placing blame in the wrong places when an issue arises, which could exacerbate the situation. For
instance, a patient and his family members who are: 1) upset by the lack of allocated resources to the patient’s department; and 2) do not understand the difference
between nursing roles may end up taking frustration out on the ground nurses or nurse managers, when the nurse administrator is responsible for budget allocations. A
misconception of the hierarchical nurse roles among nurses could also give way to conflict if, for example, a nurse is upset with her manager about scheduling changes,
when an administrator is in charge of staff scheduling. By extension patient families also benefit from this information, as well as any other lay persons.

 

ImplicationsIn your Capstone Project, you will be developing a mechanism to disseminate important information related to the topic you have selected. Explain, in detail, the
impact of directing this information to the appropriate audience(s). Please make sure you have considered all aspects (financial, regulatory, accrediting, safety and
patient satisfaction outcome, issues and aspects of the implication):• Once nurses and patients understand the difference between the nurse management and administrative functions, the system of conflict resolution in the heath
facility will be more efficient. Any issues raised by the patient or the patient’s family will be brought to the right person’s attention, either by the patient or the
patient’s nurse, and it can be handled correctly. Additionally, any issue that nurse might be having with another nurse will properly be handled by the nurse manager,
or depending on the issue, a nurse administrator would be better equipped to bring a solution. This can lead to a more efficiently-running workplace and a higher
patient satisfaction.

 

Outcomes and ContentYou have already submitted your draft Outcomes and Content topics, so you need to use the provided grid and make any needed changes. For this assignment, you must also
include at least three references per outcome. You may include references that are not from peer-reviewed journals, but be judicious in their use, and do not include
those in your count of required articles. Remember that all references must be less than five years old.

 

 

StrategiesIn the grid, describe each visual aid, handout, and/or verbal presentation/demonstration strategy that your information dissemination would include. You may use the
same strategies for each outcome, or you may “mix and match”. Here are some of the types of visual aids you might use:Slides (like PowerPoint)PosterBrochureHandoutChartDiagramsModelsVideoSimulationHere are some of the types of verbal strategies you might use:LectureDemonstrationGuided questionsExpert panelGuided hands-on trainingBe sure to include a Q&A session for the conclusion of your presentation.TimeIn the grid, record the amount of time needed for each activity or part of your presentation.

but should include all sections that will be included in the final review paper that you’ll be writing. We will cover the sections of a strong outline in class on
September 8, and for this assignment you will us the lessons learned in class to submit a complete outline consisting of: (i) Introduction outline, including a strong
thesis statement; (ii) At least THREE sub-categories; (iii) At least TWO sub-sub-categories for each sub-category; and (iv)Discussion outline.

agriculture, and identify how to strengthen their actions through collaboration with others. Our discussion section describes these outcomes, and highlights their
applicability for future sustainable agriculture research and implementation. Prior to the discussion, the following section outlines our methodology in detail. We
then present our results for each objective. Finally, at the end of the paper we sum up and draw conclusions.

Discuss the role of the indians in the wars for empire

Discuss the role of the indians in the wars for empire

In this assignment you will use primary documents, in addition to other course materials, in an analytical argument.

Details: 2-3 pages, double spaced, 12 pt type, 1 inch margins. Grammar, logic, and clarity count. Specific and detailed evidence required. Use of primary documents from the Thinking Historically: American Indians and the Wars for Empire folder in Topic 7 is required. You must have, at minimum, three pieces of evidence in support of your thesis drawn from these documents.

This is an individual assignment – do not work on it with others

Assignment Prompt

Discuss the role of the Indians in the wars for empire from the 1690s through the 1760s. Were they simply pawns of the European combatants or did they have their own strategies and goals from the war? What factors caused Indian tribes and confederations to choose one European power over another as an ally?

You may wish to concept map or outline key issues first and then pull out your three strongest arguments to develop more fully in the essay.

THE “RULE OF THREE”

You will need to use an analytical writing style in this class. The basic form of analytical writing utilizes the “Rule of Three.” Simply, there should be at least three key points/pieces of evidence in a piece of writing introduced by a strong clear thesis.

This is a 2-3 page essay length assignment. Your paper should begin with an Introduction which sets the prompt in the historical context, the LAST sentence of the intro paragraph is the thesis statement which lists the (minimum of) three points (X,Y,Z) that will be more fully developed in the paper. The first paragraph of the body (paragraph 2) would discuss key point X (this paragraph would have its own thesis as the first sentence, followed by three pieces of evidence/analysis in support), then a paragraph on Y, and finally one on Z. An essay ends with a conclusion paragraph – which sums up the argument you made and ties X, Y, and Z together. The conclusion is NOT the place to introduce new arguments or evidence.

Another way of thinking about it is that an essay is comprised of three paragraphs in the body of similar composition to the one paragraph you wrote in the Reaction 1 exercise.

So Rule of Three means three key points in a thesis, a body with three paragraphs (one for each of your key points), each paragraph has a thesis supported by three key pieces of evidence. Followed by a conclusion.

On page 270 of Elementary and Intermediate Algebra you will find the “Present Value Formula,” which computes how much money you need to start with now to achieve a
desired monetary goal. Assume you will find an investment which promises somewhere between 5% and 10% interest on your money and you want to purchase your desired item
in 12 years. (Remember that the higher the return, usually the riskier the investment, so think carefully before deciding on the interest rate.)
State the following in your discussion:
The desired item
How much it will cost in 12 years
The interest rate you have chosen to go with from part b
Set up the formula and work the computational steps one by one, explaining how each step is worked, especially what the negative exponent means. Explain what the
answer means.
Does this formula look familiar to any other formulas you are aware of? If so, which formula(s) and how is it similar?
Incorporate the following five math vocabulary words into your discussion. Use bold font to emphasize the words in your writing (Do not write definitions for the
