(these are reference examples only, obviously) Class, the biggest mistake student's make in week one is that they anticipate how to do the assignments without reading this announcement. Random Thoughts To Get You Through This Class. Your first paper is not a contiguous paper, meaning you are not writing a five or six page essay. You will break the paper into topics and discuss each one separately. Please visit the Syllabus folder and download all of the grading Rubrics. The topics will be on the left column. Think in terms of your textbook. You have: a properly formatted APA Title Page with the words Running Head in the upper left. a properly formatted Table of Contents (EVERY PAPER IN THIS CLASS NEEDS A TABLE OF CONTENTSTHIS INCLUDES YOUR CASE STUDY IN WEEKS 2 and 4) Five plus fully written pages. The minimum is five pages from the top of the page to the bottom. It is best to include a Conclusion to extend the paper past the five fully written pages Do Not Pad your paper with white space between topics or lists and graphics. THIS WILL NOT COUNT IN THE PAGE COUNT! PUT DATA IN THE APPENDIX A Reference page that is in proper APA format (Hyper Link every reference so I can follow it back) Every reference that you use must have a citation. (Make sure your citation is written only in proper APA format) You need a minimum of five references that are no older than 5 years in your project company papers (Weeks 1,3,5) Week 2 and 4 (Case Studies only need 2 to 3 fully written pages and two or three references with the same parameters as weeks 1, 3, 5 and 6. (Title Page, Table of Contents, Written Pages and Reference Page). In your week 2 and 4 case study papers, make sure you indicate in the first paragraph the title of the article you uses, where you got it and the author. Spelling and Grammar issues could receive a deduction of up to 30 pts. (Have someone proof your work) Review the example that is posted or will be posted in the Announcements. Read the late work policyI do not accept makeup work! You will find a video and written explanation of a Peer Reviewed Reference in Announcements this week. (Watch it and read it) Do not use any colored font in anything you do in this class! The standard font for papers is New Times Roman 12 pt. Only bold legends and topics. The only thing that needs to be in APA in the discussions is references. This is probably the most important set of instructions you will receive from me. Failure to follow instructions could impede your opportunity to pass this class. FYI: Some students don't pass the first time and there is no shame if you have to take the class a second time for not following directions. There are no quizzes or exams in this class. The overall course assignment is a completed Course Project: Final Paper. Major sections of the project will be due during weeks 1, 3, 5 with the complete project submitted in Week 6. For this project you may select any company- profit or non-profit, one that offers products or services. The only requirement is that it be a publicly held corporation easily found in business databases. Faculty approval for your selected company must be secured before you begin and there will be no duplicate selection of firms.
