Capstone Project Required Content Overview

The final Capstone Project is completed throughout the course through the weekly written assignments. However, not all of the assignments will be a part of the final project—some are preparation assignments. You will compile your paper using the APA Course Paper Format Template provided in the course Resources for Week 10. Follow these instructions and you will have the content needed for the final project.

The first section of the paper is the Introduction (1–2 paragraphs). You will need to create an introduction for the paper that explains what the paper will be about. You may be able to use parts of the Week 2 Assignment for this.

The second section of the paper is entitled Problem Statement (1–2 pages). This is your Week 3 Assignment.

The third section of the paper is the Literature Review (4–6 pages). This is your Week 6 Assignment.

The fourth section of the paper is Causes and Effects (2–3 pages). This is your Week 7 Assignment.

The fifth section of the paper is Problem Solution (2–3 pages). This is your Week 9 Assignment.

The final section is a Conclusion (1 page). You will need to write a conclusion summarizing the Capstone Project and bringing the paper to a close.

The other assignments you complete for this course are preparation assignments and are not a part of the final paper. For the final paper, make sure that you incorporate the feedback that you have received on all assignments and make all needed corrections. You will need to bridge the sections with transition statements so that the paper reads as a whole and not several separate papers. Review your citations for correct APA format throughout.

When completing your final project, be sure to use section headings for each required part: Introduction, Problem Statement, Literature Review, Causes and Effects, Problem Solution, Conclusion, and References. All papers need to have a title page. A running head is optional. Correct APA format is required throughout and for the References page.

If you have received feedback for APA or academic writing issues on assignments, be sure to work with the Writing Center. Seek an appointment with an editor for a paper review ( https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/paperreviews) or use other resources such as Grammarly and the many written resources and videos on APA format to help in this area. 

Review the SafeAssign report, and correct any issues highlighted for your final paper—before you submit it.
