Regulations: 

· GRADING EXPECTATIONS :

1. I recommend that you use the grading rubric to shape your work product (Attached).  

2. With respect to grading, The instructor really looks for 2 things:  citations and substance . I encourage you to include cites and information from scholarly and/or peer-reviewed sources in addition to the course text (Stevenson, W. (2018). Operations management (13th ed.). New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Irwin. ISBN-13:9781259667473)

Otherwise, my potential for points is reduced. It  indicates you have read the course materials and searched far and wide for theories, statistics, and facts to address the issue at hand. I encourage you to paraphrase these sources. Convert the content into your own words rather than using direct quotes. This improves the synthesis of information, and it makes the writing more closely resemble your own style. 

In addition to scholarly citations, a substantive assignment is one that not only answers the question but advances the discussion. Please, do more than is expected.

· The writer must apply APA style guidelines.
