You are responsible for locating and reading an academically approved current event article related to the material in this course.$$Academically approved$$ means that the article must come from an academic journal or a professional news organization.$$ It cannot come from Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat, TikTok, a personal blog$/$vlog$,$ etc...$$ Acceptable sources include the Wall Street Journal, Dayton Daily News, Cincinnati Enquirer, BBC News, etc.... $$Current event$$ specifically means information from the past year.$$ The article must be a full$-$length article and not just an abstract$.$

After reading the article and determining how it relates to course material, you are responsible for writing a $2-3$ page paper with section headings that addresses the following:$$

What is the article about?$$

Write a summary of the article.$$ Provide enough information in your summary that the reader will understand what the article is about without actually having to read the article.$$ Note: Please do not rewrite the article.$$

How does this article relate to the information covered in the text$/$class$?($This should be the bulk of your paper$)$

Provide an analysis of how the article is related to course material.$$ Be very specific and provide textbook page references.$$

$$Simply stating that the article is related to a specific topic in class is not enough.$$ For example, if you find an article about a company$$s recruitment process, it is not enough to say that the article is related to the human resource recruitment topic. $$You must describe in detail how the article is related to course material and discuss things like what type of recruitment process is used, how effective this type of process is$,$ how it is similar$/$different to other types of recruitment processes, etc...

$$If you cannot relate the article to course material, then select another article.$$

What was the most interesting part of the article to you and why? $$

Please describe what the most interesting part of the article was to you and then state why it was interesting to you.$$

Reference source:$$

Provide a reference for the article $($MLA$).$ Make sure the online link works so that I can read the article.$$ If the source is not included, you will earn a zero for this paper. Your paper will be matched against AI tools $($like ChatGPT$)$ and will be run through plagiarism software $($Turnitin$).$

Your paper needs to be in MLA format. I will look closely at the first page formatting, the page header formatting, the paragraph formatting, the in$-$text citation formatting, and the works cited page formatting. If you are not familiar with MLA formatting, I suggest you research the basics at either the EasyBib or the Purdue Owl web sites. Both resources are used by college students all
