The BUSI 645 Week 5 method, step by step
Start from the need
Assess the need first. The plan's goals and measures all depend on a clear statement of the gap.
Write measurable objectives
Turn the need into objectives that can be measured: who, what, how much, by when. Vague goals make the evaluation section impossible to write.
Choose methods that fit the objectives
Select the strategies, content or interventions that fit each objective, and say why they fit, citing evidence (At least 5 scholarly sources on the tentative reference page).
Plan the resources and timeline
List what the plan needs (people, time, materials, cost) and the order of steps. Graders look for plans that could be carried out.
Plan the evaluation
Tie each objective to a measure and a time point. Evaluation is where most plans are thinnest.
Format and length
Follow the required template or headings and check length (1-page outline plus a reference page) and APA.
List each topic as a heading with two or three points beneath, including the Scripture or Christian ethical principle you will apply. Agree on who writes each section of the final.
