What is the typical process for planning a service project within AAS?

• A. Guess the project's goal and execute.
• B. Identify a need, plan objectives, assign roles, execute the project, and assess outcomes.
• C. Wait for someone to tell you what to do.
• D. Plan, execute, and ignore assessment.

Answer: (B)

Planning a service project in AAS starts by identifying a real need in the community, then turning that need into clear, measurable objectives that guide what will be done. From there, you assign roles and responsibilities so everyone knows their part and the group can work smoothly. The next step is to execute the plan, staying organized and on schedule while coordinating actions. After the project is complete, you assess the outcomes to determine what was accomplished, what impact it had, and what could be improved for next time. This evaluation helps demonstrate effectiveness to sponsors and provides learning for future projects. Approaches based on guessing, waiting for someone to tell you what to do, or skipping assessment don’t connect actions to actual needs or learning goals.
