Assignment: CQ DEVELOPMENT PLAN/ACTION PLAN
INSTRUCTIONS
1. To begin this assignment, the student must have with them a copy of the "CQ Report" that was compiled/prepared specifically for them from the CQ Center. This is the same CQ Report that the student was asked to submit to Blackboard for the Module/Week 5 CQ assignment. Since the CQ Report contains results from your CQ Assessment, it provides specific information that will be necessary for you while working on this assignment.
2. Write out your CQ Development Plan/Action Plan by fully responding to all questions and statements from pages 9-12 in your CQ Report. Please make certain that this Development Plan/Action Plan is not a filled in copy of your CQ Report, but instead is a written paper following Turabian format. Type out each of the questions, statements, and chart headings first and then respond thoroughly to each part of the plan as outlined in pages 9-12 of your CQ Report. The answers to your questions must be in complete sentences. Your responses to each question and statement must be very thorough.
