Course Project Outline with Title and References Pages Assignment Instructions
In Week 3 you began the process of developing your Course Project by brainstorming a list of people who are leaders somehow related to your field of study and who might be good role models for you in your quest to become a leader in your career field. By this point you should have selected a role-model leader. Now you are ready to start gathering information and putting together your actual Course Project (due Week 8).
You will need to do some real research to gather information on the required elements as we explore the topic of leadership. Using the library databases (LexisNexis, EBSCO, ProQuest, etc.), you should identify and gather information from at least three good research sources. Use what you learned from your textbook (Chapter 5) and the Week 4 class discussion to help you find good sources.
Since this project is not just a biography of some famous person, you may only use one source from a biography database. Research to find and gather information on how your leader worked to become a recognized leader and how this person has demonstrated leadership in the field. You must also find information on the definition of leadership and key leadership skills, the role of individual accountability as it relates to leadership, and the process you might follow to develop leadership skills and become a leader.
For Week 5, you are to prepare an outline with a title page and a references page. This assignment will be scored out of 100 points. A thoughtfully-prepared outline will help you organize all of your ideas and establish a framework for your well-supported, meaningful research project.
Your outline should be one to two pages long and should cover all required elements of the project in a logical manner. Each body section of your outline must include cited, researched support from quality sources found in the academic databases.
You must use at least three sources now, though you will most likely use more in your final project since you are continuing to research and learn.
You must also include an APA-formatted title page and a references page listing all the sources you cited in the body of your outline.
Use the model and template in this document to help you decide what to research and how to write your properly APA formatted title page, outline and references page. Your outline can be similar to the model, but you should rewrite it in first person. Substitute the words and phrasing in this outline with ideas that reflect an overview of your project and the details you will include. EX: Change II. Your program area and intended career field to II. My Program: Justice Administration; My Career Goal: FBI Agent. You may add lines or condense sections in the model outline as you see fit.
Please remember that you must research and use source material to back up what you say. All sections marked on the model template with asterisks (*) should include researched information and parenthetical in-text citations.

- A references page must include full bibliographic information for all sources used in the project. It must include only sources used in the project. All sources used in the body of the project must be cited where the information appears (in-text and parenthetical citations).
- Entries are listed alphabetically by the author’s last name. If there is no author name, alphabetize by the sponsoring organization, and if there is no sponsoring organization, use the title.
- Hanging indentations are used. The first line is flush left, and the second and ensuing lines are indented half an inch. (See the arrow pointing to the hanging indent below.)
- Only the first letter of the first word of the article title is capitalized; the rest of the article title is capitalized as a regular sentence would be, without capitals. Article titles are not placed in quotation marks. If there is a colon in the title, the first letter of the first word after the colon is capitalized, as are proper nouns. Journal titles are capitalized, as usual, by the first letter of each main word.

My Proposal to Make an Impact on My Community In the Spirit of
One of Our Great Community Leaders, Horst Rechelbacher.
I briefly heard about Horst Rechelbacher by chance, and ever since, I’ve been amazed and empowered by the creator of Aveda and Intelligent Nutrients. As a reflection of what hard work and dedication provide, and reaching for a specialization in Small Business Management, I feel like he embodies the qualities I need to to reach my own goals of creating natural pet products. Horst is a phenomenal influence because of his effort to not only create the products he did, but take an active role in changing the industry he was involved in for the better, for good. I want to be that same type of influence in my industry. I hope to be able to have a better grasp on the more specific lengths he went to to change the cosmetic industry’s false labeling, the impact he had on his community, and his choice and ability to use what he, and others, grew naturally for his own products.
I haven’t found a very large amount of information on Horst’s life, but I have found a great deal of information on his companies. I think with enough research and a solid interview or two from well respected and documented sources, I should be able to gather more of an insight on the man behind the name. I plan to continue to find quality sources both in print, and verbal, to facilitate this project and will also use a few helpful items to help effectively write my project out and present my project. I am slightly worried that there won’t be a wealth of information about Horst’s personal background, but I plan on circumventing issues like that that I may run into by supplementation from the above stated interviews and, in addition, asking those interviewees if they have any knowledge of where to gather more information. Lastly, as always, finding and dedicating the proper amount of time to this project to ensure that it is done thoroughly and properly, without rushing, may prove to be difficult.
