The second phase of the project will include a revision of the first section, plus the addition of a larger section describing the courses of action recommended by the student. The final third of the project will incorporate any revisions to the second part of the project, plus a Power Point presentation detailing the nature and scope of the problem, as well as the student’s recommended solutions and their expectations of the results. Specific dates and point values for each section of the QEP Signature Assignment are located in the Course Requirements and Assignments section of the syllabus. All parts of this project must be produced in Microsoft Word. The text must be double-spaced, have one-inch margins, and be in either 12-point Times New Roman, Calibri, or Arial font.
