Apocalyptic Leadership Scenario

Action Plan (written paper) Guidance

Students will submit a well-written, critical thinking analysis paper (“Action Plan”). The expectation of the submission is that it be well-written and representative of upper-level undergraduate work. Proper grammar and formatting are the expected norm, so do not overlook this aspect of the assignment.

ACTION PLAN - Assignment Requirements:

· 5 – 6 (five-six) double-spaced pages, 12-point font – you may use Times New Roman or Bookman Old Style font. Note, the five-to-six-page requirement is only for the Body of the Paper (as instructed in the “Outline Template” below); although highly encouraged for proper organizational and formatting structure, any Title, Abstract, or Works Cited/Reference pages included with your submission do not count towards the five-to-six-page requirement.

· Double-spacing, 1” margins around each page is required. Appropriate indentions are expected.

· Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Review the USA Academic Policies in your course syllabus, the Lowdown, or course’s Student Resources section if you are unsure of the policy or the consequences of turning in work that is not yours and/or submitting someone else’s work as your own.

· If you need any assistance in writing original papers, I highly recommend you contact the USA Writing Center for guidance in this area.
