h. Before you submit your written paper Assignment, you should “grade” yours by the rubric I will be using.

i. If you find a source older than 6 years that you would like to use, you must email me a link to the source, tell me why it’s a good source, and get my permission first . Don’t wait till the day the assignment is due to email me.

j. Remember: If you don’t have the 3 types of support with in-text citation in each Major Point, you cannot make a decent grade on this.

k. Your written paper will have a cover page, running head, and the following sections (with the titles in bold)

i. Attention Getter

iii. Major Point 1 (and your Major Point written out in the title

iv. Major Point 2 (and your Major Point written out in the title)

v. Summary

vi. References

l. Your sources: The articles you use for your sources must be complete articles, with an author, no older than 6 years old (unless you clear it with me first, at least 800 words in length, and at least 2 of them must come from the ASU online library; and the others must come from reputable sources. No textbooks, dictionaries, books, e-books, blogs, Wikipedia, etc. may be used at all.

III. Your Oral Presentation over your topic

a. Watch the Tegrity lectures “Giving Your Oral Presentation, Parts 1 & 2.” These will walk you through how to do your oral presentation and demonstrate one for you.

b. You will use the written speech you submitted for your oral presentation. Don’t read your presentation , though.

c. Dress appropriately: Face-to-face classes: You will not be allowed to give your oral presentation if you are wearing jeans, ball cap, t-shirt, shorts, revealing clothing, or anything not clearly the business attired required. Online classes: Yours won’t count if you are dressed in the items above. (If there is any question about the appropriateness, you will be required to prove, with refereed sources from the ASU online library, that what you have on is accepted, appropriate business attire, so be sure you err on the side of conservative attire.

i. Dress:  at least business appropriate casual:  If you wear anything but a nice shirt and tie, dress shoes with socks, and dress slacks (men) or dress slacks, button-up blouse, and jacket (women) with close-toe pumps, you may want to check with me to ensure it’s appropriate. 

ii. This is a partial list of what not to wear: No hats, jeans, t-shirts, tennis shoes, leggings, shorts, sweat or yoga pants, sports paraphernalia, any clothing that shows an undergarment, any low-cut top, flip flops, very high heels, cold-shoulder tops, anything that shows your back, cleavage, or tummy, 

iii. If you do not have appropriate business attire and are near Jonesboro, the College of Business has a Clothes Closet from which you may borrow clothing for the oral presentation. You will have to make arrangements with Dr. Leslie as to when you can look at the clothes.

d. Strict time limits: Your oral presentation will be strictly timed. Your presentation should be between 3-4 minutes. If you go one second over 5 minutes, you will lose a letter grade.
