Guidelines for Group Assignment: Review of Chapter Case Studies (6 Assignments)

1. Each group shall create a one page APA style narrative response for each of the

assigned group chapter case studies assignments based on the questions below.

a. What are the ethics issues in this case?

b. What management mistakes were made in this case?

c. Who are the key stakeholders in this case?

d. What steps can be taken within this organization to remedy these mistakes?

2. If more than one review is assigned during the week each group shall submit a one page

APA style narrative response as mentioned above for each case study/assignment.

3. Each question must be repeated followed by your narrative answer including properly cited sources and the references used in the answer.

4. Two (2) “External Authoritative Sources” in addition to the textbook are required for maximum points on EACH assignment.

5. “External Authoritative Sources” for purposes of this course shall mean: books, peer reviewed journal articles, education and government sites as well as non-partisan national or

international organizations (such as WHO, UNICEF, UNAIDS etc) provided, the foregoing

source/material selected has in text citations and references to support statements made therein.

Newspapers including the Wall Street Journal, blogs regardless of source, editorial, panel

discussions and dot com sites are not considered authoritative for this course.

6. Required Sources: A source cannot be referenced unless it was cited in the narrative answer

7. Formatting: The textbook from which the case study was published and the course text book must be cited just like any other source. It is not permissible to write "In the text book... or In the case

study…"

8. Formatting: Any direct quote in the narrative must include the page or paragraph number in the citation

9. Formatting: It is improper to place a citation/source at the end of a paragraph if material from the source appears before the last sentence in the paragraph.

10. Formatting: It is improper to place a citation in the middle of a sentence. One can lead with the source in the sentence but cannot use a citation within parenthesis except at the end of the sentence.

11. References can be on a separate page and do not count toward the one-page maximum.

12. These assignments must be submitted by the group spokesperson in the appropriate assignment folder by assigned due date.

13. Additional Guidance: I urge student to review the adobe connect session with FIU Libraries and Writing Center on APA Style formatting and contact them personally if

more assistance is needed.
