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?
