Your project must clearly communicate course content in a way that would be understandable to the intended audience. Be sure to explicitly state your intended audience in your project. 2. Your project must include the use of at least 2 academic references. · One source must be a course reading. · One source must be an outside academic source not included in module readings (academic books or peer-reviewed articles only) that has been published within the last seven years.
