The main purpose of the paper is to show that you have mastered the theories, concepts and models in the course. Mastery includes the selection of an appropriate theory (or theories) and using it (them) to better understand, explain, and predict events in this case.
1. The Basics a. Do not include an introduction or a conclusion to the paper. b. Use 12 point Times New Roman, 2.54 cm margins, left justified, double-spaced, and single-sided. The body of the paper will be a maximum of 6 pages. I stop reading at the end of the 6th page.
2. Style a. Provide clear, simple, direct, concise responses to the questions using relevant theories. Say what you need to say in as few words as possible. Get to the point quickly. No fluff, please. Fluff is meaningless verbiage such as “motivation is very important in today’s society”. b. When writing it is important to ensure that the language and style do not become the focus of the reader’s attention. We should write in such a way as to focus the reader’s attention on the ideas we present. Good ideas must be presented clearly to be communicated effectively. When a document is difficult to read and understand, often it will not be read thoroughly and the ideas will receive less consideration. This is important in the academic environment and in any work environment. Your professors (and their Teaching Assistants) are paid to read every word on every page. Outside the academic environment many readers will simply give up. Good writing is hard work. c. Avoid contractions, informality, colloquialisms, and exclamation points. d. You do not need to define or cite the key concepts. e. You do not need to provide a summary of the case. f. Stay focused on your topic.
3. Layout a. Your cover page should have the course name, section number, date, name of the case, and your full name and student number. Your cover page is not considered one of the six pages of your maximum. b. Number the pages, bottom right. c. Assign each question a sub-heading. Put them in bold italics. (You don’t need to start a new page for each question). d. Do not use report folders: staple the upper left-hand corner.
4. Submitting the Paper a. Submit an electronic copy to Turnitin via the Assessment Dropbox Link on Brightspace prior to class. b. Submit a hardcopy of the paper at the start of class. c. Name the document you submit to Turnitin based on your name. Use LastnameFirstname (e.g. ChurchRobin)
