Final Project
Unit 9 Final Project:
Throughout this course, you were asked to think about your
Final Project. For your Final Project, you will construct a
Portfolio documenting your successes in achieving key
objectives in the class.
The three primary course goals reflected in your Portfolio will
be:
Analytical skill building: Improving your critical reading,
writing, and thinking skills.
Knowledge acquisition: Mastering knowledge of central
concepts, ideas, and perspectives of the humanities. A summary
of major ethical theories should be included in this section as
part of knowledge acquired.
Practical application: Learning how to connect course material
to issues you care deeply about and thoughtfully applying
course material to your own life goals, decisions, and practices.
Your Portfolio can also include information about your work in
other areas, such as the work you did to achieve the personal
goals. Examples of documentary evidence to use in your
Portfolio include, but are not limited to, excerpts from your
papers and rewrites, examples of your reading notes, selected
Discussion interactions, and email correspondence with the
instructor.
Your Portfolio will also require you to reflect on your progress
in meeting course goals, including your own evaluation of the
effectiveness of your work habits, your reflections on any
difficulties that you faced, and any special challenges that you
overcame.
The Portfolio may be organized as a Word document, a
PowerPoint presentation, or in a multimedia format approved by
your instructor in advance.
When you are ready to submit the Final Portfolio, go to the
Final Project link in Unit 9 and follow the instructions.

Assignment will be graded.
The Final Project will be due no later than the last day of Unit
9. You can review the criteria for the Final Project in the course
Syllabus and Final Project information provided in Unit 2.
Put your Final Project in a Word document. Save it in a location
and with a name that will help your instructor identify the
project name, the course, and you.
Turnitin Analysis
A special feature is available to help you with reviewing your
Unit 9 Final Project for plagiarism. When you submit your
Assignment to the Unit 9 Dropbox, your Final Project will
automatically be analyzed by the plagiarism detection tool,
Turnitin. Soon after you submit your Final Project, you will be
able to view the Turnitin Originality Report. Originality Reports
provide a summary of matching or highly similar text found in a
submitted paper. When an Originality Report is available for
viewing, an icon will appear in the report column of the
Assignment Inbox. Originality Reports are only available in the
InBox. For this reason, you will need to download the report
prior to the grading of the Unit 9 Final Project. To do this, click
on the print icon at the bottom of the Originality Report. This
will prepare a readable, PDF version of the Originality Report
that you can save to your computer.
