For each objective, include specific details as to how your project will be evaluated. What evidencebased measure will be applied to your evaluation plan? What method of analysis will be used for each objective? Section Summary o One paragraph which includes a brief summary of the of the sectioncontents. It is suggested that the section begins with This sectiondiscussedYour Section Three is VERY difficult to follow because you have not followed what is asked of you in the DNP handbook and used appropriate headings on your work.Please edit this so that when you share this draft of your section three with your Chair, they will have an easier time of being able to read your paper when it is organized appropriately. Please edit this using the attached rubric to affix the required heading. Once re-edited, you can send it directly to my Barry-U email: mshaw@barry.edu
