OL 665 Module Two Journal Guidelines and Rubric

The journals in this course are private communications between you and the instructor. Approach your journals as an opportunity to re�ect on and apply what you learn each week from the

assigned readings, discussions, and activities. The journals are a chance to share your knowledge and expertise from your past educational and professional experiences. As a successful

professional, you will need good re�ection and writing skills. Journal activities offer you the opportunity to further develop these skills. Each journal assignment is graded individually.

Overview

During this module, you will plan an interview with a person from any level of the organization. You will use information from this interview for a journal assignment in Module Four and a short

paper in Module Six. If possible, interview an employee, manager, or key volunteer. You may schedule interviews with more than one person. The person you interview may introduce you to

other members of the organization if you visit an of�ce for an in-person interview.

You must have the interviewee sign the interview consent form to make certain you have their permission to use their responses in your �nal project. Let the person know about the consent

form when you schedule the interview. They may need to get approval to sign the agreement.

Consider using a virtual platform like Zoom, a phone call, or an email exchange if you are unable to schedule a face-to-face interview. Contact your instructor if you have questions about the

assignment.

Note: Try to schedule the interview with an employee, manager, or key volunteer at the not-for-pro�t you have chosen for your �nal project. You may choose another charity nonpro�t if you

can’t schedule an interview with an employee, manager, or key volunteer at the organization you have chosen for your �nal project. An interview is required, but you have options.

Prompt

In your journal assignment, address the following critical elements:

Provide the main elements of information about the person or people you will interview, including their names, roles in the organization, and any other information about what they have

done.

Describe the rationale for choosing this person or people to interview and how the information gathered will add to the strategic analysis for the �nal project.

Effectively incorporate research from the organization’s website and other resources like news reports, government, and professional organization websites.

What to Submit

Submit your assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. These journal assignments should be at least 250 words in length.
