Diversity
IDS 400 Final Project Part Two Guidelines and Rubric

Overview This course explores diversity and its impact on the world around us. Diversity influences society, and society influences diversity, creating a feedback loop between them. We will critically analyze this feedback loop in this course through social, historical, and theoretical approaches to diversity as well as the four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. Each of these four perspectives allows us to better understand the construction of diversity and its interrelation with society. From this enhanced understanding, you will be equipped to draw connections between popular culture and your personal and professional lives, helping you to become a better-informed citizen who can make a positive difference in the world.

Issues and events in diversity have a pervading influence on many aspects of society, and how they are dealt with requires diverse knowledge and perspectives to investigate and change. The purpose of this project is to examine a specific issue or event in diversity and how that event or issue impacts individuals and society. You will do this through the development of a critical analysis portfolio and a presentation in which you will demonstrate your ability to think critically, investigate, and communicate clearly. These skills are often necessary to achieve personal and professional goals across many disciplines.

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

? Analyze the relationships among culture, diversity, and self by investigating their influence on one’s discipline of study or chosen profession ? Integrate interdisciplinary approaches for determining how issues of diversity affect modern societies in both personal and professional contexts ? Describe the cultural and social influences on the development of personal identity by employing appropriate research strategies ? Recommend strategies for overcoming obstacles in diversity to meet personal and professional goals ? Articulate informed viewpoints on how to ensure cultural responsiveness in personal and professional contexts using effective communication skills ? Assess the challenges of overcoming issues in diversity through the incorporation of diverse perspectives and viewpoints informed by relevant literature

and peer experiences

Prompt For Final Project Part Two, you will develop a multimedia presentation in which you will have a chance to reflect on what you have learned about your issue or event, yourself, and society through analyzing your event or issue’s impact on diversity. You will also be able to apply your communication skills and integrate multimedia elements to communicate your message to an audience

In developing this presentation, you will be able to use your analyses from Final Project Part One as a starting point. The reflective nature of this activity prompts you to dig deeper and consider the implications posed by the critical analysis of your issue or event in diversity. How does studying diversity affect how you understand yourself as well as the world around you? You’ll also be challenged to incorporate a dash of creativity to enhance your message.

Multimedia Presentation: For the second part of the project, you will create a multimedia presentation that incorporates audio narration and visuals to articulate how critically analyzing your issue or event in diversity impacts your own framework of perception and ability to constructively engage in society.

PowerPoint: You are required to include a combination of text and visuals in order to support your PowerPoint presentation. Use the Check File Compatibility With Earlier Versions and Are You Having Video or Audio Playback Issues? resources to help you check compatibility between versions of Office. Also, follow the instructions on the Microsoft Support page to compress your presentation into a zipped file. You may upload a zipped file when submitting this assignment. Reducing the size of the PowerPoint presentation file by compressing it makes it easier for your instructor to download and grade.

Microphone: While it is not necessary to purchase a microphone for this project, you will need to have access to a microphone to record the narration of the presentation. You can use the external microphone of your device, a set of earbuds, or a borrowed microphone from a friend. This assignment is graded on the content of the narration and not the quality of the recording.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Issue/Event: For this section of your presentation, you will introduce the issue or event and how it relates to issues of diversity and any of the topics that

have been discussed in the course.

i. What is the origin of the issue?

ii. What is the issue about?

B. Using appropriate research strategies, describe the impact of the issue or event on society. [IDS-400-03]

i. Who is impacted by the issue?

ii. What is important to know about those who are impacted by the issue?

C. Using relevant research or diverse perspectives, assess how society impacts the chosen issue. [IDS-400-06]

II. Yourself: This section of your presentation explores how studying diversity influences your individual framework of perception with respect to your

discipline of study or profession.

altered the way you perceive the world. [IDS-400-05]

B. How can critically analyzing diversity influence your field of study or profession? How can studying diversity inform your understanding of the

next big topic of study in your field or profession in the next five to ten years? [IDS-400-01]

III. Society: This section of your presentation explores how studying diversity enhances your ability to engage constructively in society.

A. How does critically analyzing diversity add value to how you interact with people and understand social or global issues or events? Supplement

your reasoning with examples. [IDS-400-04]

B. Recommend strategies for using this kind of critical analysis for meeting your personal and professional goals. What might this look like in your

everyday life? Consider how diversity can be used to address the day-to-day responsibilities or questions faced by practitioners in your field or

discipline. [IDS-400-04]

IV. Conclusion:

A. Using relevant research or diverse perspectives, assess the benefits and challenges of addressing issues in diversity. [IDS-400-06]

B. Explain how critically analyzing diversity adds value to interactions with people in personal and professional contexts. [IDS-400-02]

V. Presentation: Throughout your presentation, you will be assessed on your ability to use effective communication skills to deliver your message to your

audience.

audience. [IDS-400-05]

B. Provide supporting evidence in your presentation that supports the importance of the chosen issue or event and its impact within diversity.

[IDS-400-05]

C. Develop the audio narration to logically flow with the presentation to articulate the importance of critically analyzing the chosen issue or event

and its impact within diversity. [IDS-400-05]

Milestones Milestone Three: Diversity, You, and Society In Module Five, you will draft the content that will inform your final multimedia presentation, due in Module Seven. This includes the intersectional nature of diversity and its impact on one’s individual framework of perception, one’s discipline of study, and society in general. This milestone will be submitted as a presentation draft that includes speaker’s notes. This milestone will be graded with the Milestone Three Rubric.

Final Project Part Two Submission: Multimedia Presentation In Module Seven, you will submit Final Project Part Two. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final product. It should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. This submission will be graded with the Final Project Part Two Rubric.

Final Project Part Two Rubric

Guidelines for Submission: Your multimedia presentation should be approximately 10 to 12 slides and 8 to 12 minutes in length. You are required to include a combination of text, visuals, and sound in order to support your work. Support your presentation with relevant resources cited in APA format and noted on a separate slide. If you require alternative accommodations for completing this assignment, reach out to your instructor directly for more information.

Note: Turnitin, the originality report feature used in the course, is not able to check PowerPoint submissions for plagiarism. Thus, you should submit your speaker notes in a separate Word document. Both files (PowerPoint and Word) can be submitted through the Final Project Part Two submission item.
