Now is the time to pull together your hard work throughout the course, integrate the feedback you have received, and submit your final project. Ensure you have addressed each of the requirements. Remember that the requirements for the three milestones may differ somewhat from the requirements for the final project. Post any questions or concerns to the General Questions topic.
*******Your program plan should be at least 20 pages in length (including the cover sheet, reference page, and appendix) with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and adherence to industry-standard guidelines for formatting and citing source
The purpose of this assignment is to apply the information from Chapters 3 and 4 to a behavior of your choosing. In this regard, you will need to select a behavior, operationally define the behavior, and choose an appropriate measurement system. You do not need to actually measure the behavior.
Assignment – Due by 8:30 pm on data indicated on syllabus – upload to eCourseware dropbox
Begin your paper by briefly describing the behavior of interest. Who is the person (pseudonyms are appropriate)? What is the behavior they engage in that needs to be changed? What are the circumstances under which the behavior tends to occur?
Following this introduction, you will need to
Identifying appropriate target behavior
Describe how the target behavior you selected for change adheres to the guidelines outlined in Chapter 3 (specifically, look at pages 56-61)
Operational definition
Develop an operational definition of the target behavior. Explain how your operational definition meets the criteria for a good definition. Identify whether your definition is a function-based or topography-based definition, and defend your choice.
Measurement selection
Describe how you will measure the behavior. What will be the length of your observation and why? What is the important measurable dimension of the target behavior (e.g., rate, latency, irt)? Explain why this measurable dimension is important relative to other possible dimensions.
Measurement procedure
Describe the specific observation and recording procedure you will use for the target behavior. For example, will you use event recording or interval recording. If interval, what type of procedure will you use (Whole? Partial? Momentary time sampling?)? Explain how you would use this procedure, and defend your choice of procedure. Will the procedure you select involve continuous or discontinuous measurement?
Data sheet
Develop and attach a data sheet that you might use for observation and recording. This data sheet should reflect the recording procedure you describe and should be designed for efficient recording. You may search online for examples, but the data sheet should be your own creation.
Grading Template
3 = information is clear, complete, and appropriate
2 = most, but not all, information is clearly and appropriately addressed in a way that is specific to the application
1 = addressed somewhat, but information is incompletely, unclearly, and/or only generally described to a large extent
0 = not addressed
Provides an overview of the person of interest, the target behavior, and the circumstances under which behavior tends to occur.

1-Organization is somewhat difficult to follow, paper contains extraneous information (not relevant), and/or paper contains some errors
0-Confusing organization and/or numerous typographical, grammatical, or conceptual errors
Write a few sentences (2-4) of why you choose the topic, why It is important to you, and what will it add to the larger body of knowledge on the subject.
Go to the Strayer library (research.strayer.edu) and do an initial search for information on your research topic. Post one relevant article on your research topic from the past year.
Describe the research question, research method, and independent and dependent variables in the article.
Respond to at least one of your classmates. Verify that the information that the identified in the article that they posted is correct.
If it is not or you do not agree with their assessment, post what you think is the correct answer.
Post one question about something you would like to learn from their research or about their research topic and/or the article they posted.
