To prepare for Part 1 of your Trends project, you will search for information that will enable you to identify the three top trends in your profession or field. Once youve identified the three trends you plan to discuss, use the APA 7 Template for UCSP 615 Trends Project to start on Part 1. At least three sources should be incorporated within Part 1. Part 1 is a graded draft due at the end of Week 2; you should complete the title page, introductory paragraph, discussion of each trend, and include in-text citations and references.
In Part 2, you will identify an issue of interest to you in the same industry or field and explore its impact to or effect on the industry, as well as develop your conclusion. You will also make any necessary revisions to Part 1 after reviewing your professors feedback. At least three additional sources should be incorporated within Part 2. Part 2 is a graded draft due at the end of Week 3; you should continue to use the Trends Project Template and complete the sections below the Level 1 heading titled An Im
portant Emerging Issue.
For your Final Trends Project, you will incorporate the feedback that you have received on Part 1 and Part 2 and edit/refine your project. At this point you project will be 5-7 pages in length (not including the cover page and reference page) and include at least six sources. Each source listed on your references page should be associated with at least one in-text citation within the project. The Final Trends Project is due at the end of Week 4.
The current trends in my profession are all heavily related to COVID. Some of these trends are:
Decrease in healthcare workers
Increased availability of vaccines
Increase of people that are skeptical about the COVID-19 vaccine
Decrease in equipment
Im going to go more in detail about these trends in my project and also how it is currently impacting me and being able to do my job. I want to be able to kind of make it sort of like a timeline. I want to talk about these trends when COVID first occurred and how these trends are still a thing after 2 years of living with COVID.
