Module 10-1 Overview
You have worked hard and sacrificed much to get to where you are.

You will also consider how you can use what you have learned to achieve your future career plans and goals.

· Which previous courses in your master’s program helped you the most in completing this capstone course? Why?
· If you were hired to be the director of people, what organizational leadership skills would you need to be effective in that job? In which course of your program did you acquire those skills?
· Ask yourself, “Now, what do I do with this degree? Which course guided me the most to become the leader I want to be?”
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. Critical Thinking and Reflection: Include relevant examples of previous courses. Describe specific learning from the courses that helped you complete the Organizational Leadership master’s degree.
2. Integration and Application: Show excellent depth of knowledge and identification of skills needed to be an effective leader.
3. Voice: Write in a scholarly and descriptive style using a consistent voice throughout the paper.

Course Participation
Course participation is required within the first week of the term for all online courses. Participation in this context
is defined as completing one graded assignment during the first week of the course. Otherwise, students will be
administratively removed for nonparticipation. Students who do not participate during the first week may forfeit
their rights to be reinstated into the course. Students who stop attending a course after the first week and who do
not officially withdraw will receive a grade calculated based on all submitted and missed graded assignments for
the course. Missed assignments will earn a grade of zero. See the course withdrawal policy and the full attendance
policy for further information.
Late Assignments
Students who need extra time may submit assignments (excluding discussion board postings) up to one week after
the assignment due date. Discussion board submissions will not be accepted for credit after the deadline except in
extenuating circumstances.
• A penalty of 10 percent of the total value of the assignment will be applied to the grade achieved on the
late assignment regardless of the day of the week on which the work is submitted.
• Students who submit assignments more than one week late will receive a grade of zero on the assignment
unless they have made prior arrangements with the instructor.
Students must submit all assignments no later than 11:59 p.m. (in their own time zone) on the last day of the term.
No assignments are accepted after the last day of the term unless an incomplete has been submitted. See the
incomplete grades policy.
There may be times an instructor makes an exception to the late assignment policy. Instructors may accept late
work, including discussion board posts, with or without prior arrangement.
• Exceptions to the late policy on these grounds are left to the instructor’s discretion, including whether the
late penalty is applied or waived. Students should not assume that they will be allowed to submit
assignments after the due dates.
• If an instructor finds that they are unable to determine whether an exception to the late policy would be
appropriate without documentation, the collection and review of student documentation should be
handled through the Dispute Resolution team in order to protect the student’s privacy. In these cases,
students should file a Student Concern Dispute form to have the circumstances reviewed.
If a student is experiencing (or knows they will experience) a circumstance, including pregnancy, that is protected
under the Americans with Disabilities Act or Title IX, they are encouraged to contact the Online Accessibility Center
(OAC) as soon as possible to explore what academic accommodations might be offered. Instructors must honor all
deadlines established through the OAC.
