Course Objective: CO3

Instructions:

During the first six-weeks you formulated a project plan, researched the content of the plan, and collected quality academic and non-academic sources.

•Clear evidence that the topic was researched and expanded upon the week 2 Project Plan.

•Presentation provides audience with information to increase their knowledge of the topic presented.

•Presentation engages the audience by using elements such as images, graphs, and charts. Appropriate citations must be included.
