Portfolio Project

As a student in the B.S. in Business Administration program, you will have the opportunity to experiment in building a virtual personal business that will evolve as a portfolio of personal performance over the courses in the degree program. In each upper level course, you will have an assignment taken from the course theories and techniques and applied to the business project, building the portfolio component by component. The project will be reviewed from course to course by each faculty member, to ensure that the components flow into a cohesive portfolio project. The portfolio item for this course is an argumentative essay.

Argumentative Essay

You are to formulate a written argument on Doctor-assisted Suicide or Self-Suicide, using all the critical thinking tools studied during this class.

Use Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of your course text, A Rulebook for Arguments, by Anthony Weston, to guide you in formulating your paper's argument.

The argument paper will be in APA format, and should be 1,750 to 2,250 words in length.

Writing Tips

• Outline your argument

• Research the facts

• Polish and prepare your final paper

   

  The Argumentative Essay will have:

• A title page (cover page)

• An introduction

• The body of your paper

• A conclusion (that summarizes the content of your paper)

• A reference page

   

  Note: Again, be sure and use your course text, A Rulebook for Arguments, as a guide in preparing your paper.

   

  Parenthetical citations and reference page: Be careful when using direct quotations, paraphrases or terms suggesting absolute facts or values, as these must be supported by parenthetical citations in the body of the paper, and an entry on the reference page.

   

  You must use a minimum of five scholarly sources, with citations and references formatted in APA Manual style, which are recent (within 5 years).

   

  A superior paper will demonstrate breadth and depth of knowledge and critical thinking appropriate for undergraduate-level scholarship. The paper must be free of typographical, spelling, and grammatical errors, with good sentence and paragraph structure.

   

  The final student argumentative essay must be submitted by Sunday July 10, 2016.
