Directly from my teacher, she stated that when you write your 12-page paper, youre going to be focusing on project objectives, going to be looking at the outline basically, and youll be saying things such as in any organization, they will have to consider things such as this, this, and that. Then heres an example. Then can put in pieces of my assignments, and so on, then itll lead to this. And heres an example.. then another piece of an assignment into the paper. So no you dont have to do research you have to think about the big picture of what this course has done and what my supporting arguments are. You dont have to put EVERYTHING in there from assignments but youll put pieces in so maybe just the artifacts I have will take up 6 pages.Obviously, you dont just say this and that, but those were just examples she gave me for when typing the paper.

She Also said this “Hi, everyone – I believe I’ve caught up on the grading. Though you can still go back and make adjustments to previous assignments, at this point I would focus more on your final paper. This is designed to be an open forum in which you explain what you have learned in this course, drawing from all of the materials – text, lecture, discussion, and assignments. You may use your assignments (artifacts) as illustrations to make your point. Though you may embed small portions of your assignments, for the most part you should include them in an appendix and refer to them in your narrative. Make sure you read it – or ask someone else to proof read it – and correct for grammar and logic.
Please…do not use AI for your paper. This isn’t a research paper; it is more of a reflection than an academic paper. You should be explaining – in your own words – how you have interpreted the course materials and how you relate it to your current experience or future career. You shouldn’t ask AI what you think, BUT, if you do, turn in your entire AI conversation (as always). Remember, this is a point of integrity.”

You can come up with something for my future career because it’s undecided, but I think I may want to open up my own gym or be a coach, just something in the athletic field.

The first attached document is the written assignments rubric that goes with the instructions below. After the first document i will add each assignment I completed for this class in order from week 1 to now. All of the PowerPoint presentations are the modules and materials from the class, but the other Word documents, etc., are the assignments I’ve completed each week.
