For Wizard Kim - Review

Professor’s response:

Good afternoon, Students,

I have begun grading your case analysis from Week 1 of ACC 695.  I have not yet completed 50% of them.  However, there are a few recurring themes I have noticed, and as you work on your week 2 cases, I wanted to reiterate a few items:

1) Please read/reread the rubric for how the cases are graded.  There are 4 components to your grade: 1) Effective research, worth 26% of the grade, Most Appropriate Alternative, worth 50% of the grade, 3)Citations cited appropriately using the APA format, worth 16%, and 4) Grammatical Style, worth 8% of your grade.  

2) As it related to effective research, you should be supporting your answer with the proper guidance to back it up.  I strongly encourage you to use the Student Guides, which give great starting points for the research to help guide you to the correct place.  Additionally, please consult the proper APA guidelines when you cite sources, which can be found under "Course Resources Documents", under "APA Reference Guide".  A few key items:  You must include a reference page listing all sources you used. The sources must be properly cited within the body of your paper.  Just stating "This complies with guidance ABC" is not sufficient writing / research.  You need to pull the content yourself and incorporate it into the paper, supporting why your response is accurate (using the guidance and the information provided in the case).

3) Make sure you clearly answer ALL questions / parts of the case.  I am seeing several partial answers, where you acknowledge that the questions are multi-parts.  However, the question is not being answered in its entirety.

Please keep these items in mind as you work on the case for Week 2.  

As a ONE TIME occurrence only, I will allow you to re-work your case for Week 1, and submit it by Saturday night, November 6, 2021 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.  However, I need to know as soon as possible if you wish to re-work your case or not.

Please advise no later than tomorrow night, Wednesday November 3, midnight Pacific Time.  If I do not hear from you, I will accept your first submission as your final submission for this assignment.
