Remember to always indent the first line of a paragraph (use the tab key) or paragraph formatting (see below). The introduction should be short (2-3 sentences). The margins, font size, spacing, and font type (bold or plain) are set in APA format. While you may change the names of the headings, do not change the formatting or style of font except as specified below. This template uses Times New Roman 12-point. You may also use: Calibri (11), Arial (11), Georgia (11) or Lucida Sans Unicode (10).
No quotations are permitted in this paper. Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format . NOTE: failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” across the grading rubric. This is a professional paper; not a personal one based on feelings. It must be written in the third person; this means words like “I”, “we”, and “you” are not appropriate.
**********NEW DATA AND SCENARIOS ARE USED EACH SESSION**********
If you procure old assignments from students or websites and use the data for your assignment, you will receive a zero because it is considered a violation of the University's academic integrity policy. The case will be referred and become part of your collegiate record. In certain circumstances, you may be awarded an F for the course.
If you are taking this class for a second time, submission of past work involving the data sets will result in a zero for the assignment. Your answers will be wrong since you are working with a different set of numbers, products, companies, or scenarios.
