Q Instructions Overview: Your Capstone Trends Project involves producing a well-researched and properly cited paper of 4-5 pages (excluding the cover sheet and reference page) in which you identify three trends in your industry/professional area of interest and discuss each one in 1-2 paragraphs. You will also provide a brief, well-reasoned argument for how these trends will impact the field and your professional success. Your conclusion will knit together all the themes of the paper and make a final statement about the potential impacts on the industry. What are trends? A trend could be something well-known in the industry, a new development, or something you consider unrecognized or disputed. This proposal will be used to guide the first conversation you have with your professor. Remember, this is a proposal -- nothing is set in stone! If you uncover different trends that would be a better fit for your project, talk with your professor about making those adjustments. Instructions: Complete the Trends Project Proposal Template and submit by the end of Week 2, Tuesday, 11:59 PM ET. ________________________________________
