FP 6900 Project_Outline_Revised Assessment 3
Develop a 200–300-word abstract, an annotated outline, and an annotated bibliography that contains at least 10 references, as the third step in completing your capstone project.
I enjoyed reading your post and one thing that I have gleaned from it is the fact that statistical significance is that which emanates from statistical findings. This is supported by Ciapponi et al. (2021) who postulates that statistical significance is the significance in factors such as correlation that emanates from statistical findings of a study. For instance, in a study on the impact of meditation and depression, one will find that meditation is inversely correlated with episodes of depression. However, while statistically. this means that people that practice meditation are less likely to have depressive episodes, this data does not mean that automatically engaging in meditation will mean that you will experience lower rates of depression as there are other outliers that may show that there is no clinical significance in the findings. For example, perhaps people that practice mindfulness are more adept at taking their medication and therefore, this may keep depressive episodes at bay.
Note: Developing a capstone project requires specific steps that need to be executed in a sequence. The assessments in this course are presented in sequence and must be completed in order.
For this assessment, create an abstract, annotated outline, and annotated bibliography. Compile your assessment into a single, well-organized file that includes the following three pieces:
- Abstract: Begin with a 200–300 word preliminary abstract of your capstone project. Remember that an abstract should summarize the main points in your paper, not just introduce it. Your abstract may change as you finalize your project, but for this assessment you should have a well-written draft of your abstract. Refer to the Abstracts document, linked in the Resources, for more information on writing an abstract.
- Annotated Outline: An annotated outline is a document that outlines the main sections your paper will have. Your outline must include an introduction and conclusion and at least four other headings in between. In addition, each of those four headings must have at least two sub-points and one quotation from a source that you might use for support, in full APA format. Refer to the Developing an Annotated Outline document, linked in the Resources, for more information on annotated outlines.
- Annotated Bibliography:An annotated bibliography is a way of collecting a list of sources that you intend to use in your paper and summarizing them. List each source in full APA format, and provide a summary (written in your own words, not a quotation) of 2–4 sentences. Then, for each source explain in an additional 2–4 sentences why the source is important and how you might use it to support your project. You must have at least 10 annotated references, including annotations for all sources that you used in the annotated outline. Refer to the Annotated Bibliography presentation, linked in the Resources, for more information on creating an annotated bibliography.
Additional Requirements
- Written communication:Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
- APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to APA (6th edition) style and formatting.
- Number of resources:Minimum of 10 resources.
- Length of paper: 3–6 typed, double-spaced pages.
- Font and font size:Times New Roman, 12 point.
APA Writing Checklist

Follow specific instructions indicated in the assignment and use this checklist to help ensure correct grammar and APA formatting.

Scholarly Resources: Scholarly resources are written with a focus on a specific subject discipline and usually written by an expert in the same subject field. Scholarly resources are written for an academic audience.
Examples of Scholarly Resources include: Academic journals, books written by experts in a field, and formally published encyclopedias and dictionaries.
Peer-Reviewed Journals: Peer-reviewed journals are evaluated prior to publication by experts in the journal’s subject discipline. This process ensures that the articles published within the journal are academically rigorous and meet the required expectations of an article in that subject discipline.
Empirical Journal Article: This type of scholarly resource is a subset of scholarly articles that reports the original finding of an observational or experimental research study. Common aspects found within an empirical article include: literature review, methodology, results, and discussion.
