Phase 4

KEY ASSIGNMENT BELOW

***HAS TWO PARTS*** 400-600 words

The discussion assignment for this week includes a review of the Key Assignment Outline completed by one of your classmates, as well as a substantial response to at least one other student.

Primary Task Response: Your first task is to post your own Key Assignment Outline to the discussion area so that other students are able to review your plan. Attach your document to the main discussion post, and include any notes you feel are appropriate. The purpose of this assignment is to help improve the quality of the Key Assignment Draft you will complete next week.

Respond to Another Student: Review at least 1 other student’s Key Assignment Outline and provide meaningful feedback. Refrain from general feedback, such as simply stating “good job.” Your feedback to other students is most helpful if you not only point out weak areas but also offer suggestions for improvement. The best feedback takes a three-stage approach to identify what was done well, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.

PART 2 KEY ASSIGNMENT

You have just begun work in the field of your choice when your new supervisor asks you to think about a grant proposal that the department may pursue. This grant proposal can be a program, technology, construction, or research grant. Provide an outline of your proposal, including a general description and some of the goals, objectives, and tasks that would be required for completion of the proposed program.

For this task, you are to assume that you have been promoted above an entry-level position in your chosen field. You should describe the agency and your position, and then you should describe the particular need that is to be addressed with your grant proposal. Once you have done all of that, follow it with the actual outline of your proposal.
