Group Project Deliverables

The group project has four parts:

1. Formal paper written in APA style and turned into me through Turnitin.com (the report should

be a minimum of 1500 words, double-spaced, and in 12-point font)

2. Group presentation using PowerPoint or a presentation medium of your choosing to the entire

class. It should be sent to me as a recorded video.

3. Participation in the presentations. This will entail a discussion from each of you posing

questions and comments on each other’s work. Each presenting group needs to be

answering questions as well.

4. Submission of your individual parts of the work you did for the project left unformatted and

turned into me through Turnitin. This will be about the only time you do not submit APA style

formatted documents to me. I reserve the option to fail students who do not work as part of

their team or who are determined to be plagiarizing their work. Plagiarism may result in stiffer

penalties according to the UCW academic rules on dishonesty.
