Field Project Reports -  Q/A
Academic Certificate Program in Community Employment Services
 
1. When is the second field project report due? May 3, 2004

2. What should the report include? The style of each report will vary according to each student’s
specific area; however, each report should at a minimum include the following:

     •    purpose and/or need for the project
     •    actions/steps taken to carry out the project
     •    results (to date)
     •    how project is expected to impact (a) the employment of people with disabilities; (b) your
          skill level; and (c) your place of employment
     •    a statement of your time commitment (hours spent)

3. What about APA format? Since APA writing style was not reviewed in our on-campus class,
we will be lenient in this requirement. However, you should (a) double-space; (b) use 12 point font;
and (c) give appropriate credit to any references you use. You may want to note the manner in which
references are cited in the articles in your on-line text, Introduction to Community Employment
Services. 

4. What documentation should I include with my report? As a general rule, include
documentation which clearly demonstrates the work you have done. For example, if the purpose of
your project was to develop a PASS plan, you would need to include a copy of the actual plan. If
your project was to develop marketing materials, you will most likely need to submit a copy of your
actual marketing tool (brochure, video, etc...) or a draft of your work. Other examples of
documentation include: surveys, curriculum documents, minutes of meetings, etc. (Remember to
protect the confidentiality of consumer information.)

5. How will my field project be graded?  The areas that will be assessed are:

     •    Is the purpose and/or need of the project clearly described?
     •    Are the steps/actions/plans described in sufficient detail?
     •    Is the project expected to benefit the student, the student’s organization, and individuals with
          disabilities?
     •    Is the project well thought out and organized?
     •    Is the documentation included sufficient to give a “picture” of the project?
     •    Is the project report neat and free of grammatical/spelling errors?
