Instruction from the professor:
All questions should be answered for each case study. If calculations would enhance your commentary, it is strongly urged that you include these calculations. The length of a case study is determined by how well you include the requested information.
Case Studies—each case study should follow this format: Prior to your analysis, you should provide a brief summary of the case, a paragraph or so in your own words with in text citations. You then can choose to answer the questions in paragraph form or type the question and then answer it. Either way is fine, but I do require that your answers have in text citations to support what you are saying. Some of the questions are your opinion, but you should also support that with concepts from the text.
Succinct, complete answers that show that you have prepared your writing with thought and reflection are preferable to answers that ramble and are not reflective of the course content. A complete, well-developed response can be given in one paragraph, several paragraphs or a page depending on the question and your ability to articulate your answer. If it requires more than one page that is acceptable as well. The written assignments will be critiqued on the technical part of your answer, the clarity and logical sequence of your response, and grammar and spelling.
You are encouraged to use textbook concepts as you attempt to explain in your own words the answers to the assignments. Word choice and sentence structure that is suitable for graduate-level work is expected.
Each question must have at least 1-2 citations (Textbook citation required, must include page number, or outside source). Please contact me if you have any questions.
In order to earn full points, the posts need to be substantial and relate real world examples to the questions being asked. Any references you use should be in APA format and listed at the end of your post
APA style writing (Times Roman, font 12…) Double spaced
APA style reference and quotes/phrases need to be referenced within the essay as well, for example… “This concern was real enough to stop… (DeMarzo, 2014 page 260).”
They will use a program and check for Plagiarism, it has to be less than 20%.
