Final Project: Phase 1 (5%)

In this two-phased final assignment, students will select a topic from the Unique Ethical Issues from weeks 3, 5, and 7, research the topic and discuss the ethical issue(s) according to the instructions in Phase 2.

NOTE:  All submitted work is to be your original work. You may not use any work from another student, the Internet or an online clearinghouse.  You are expected to understand the Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism Policy, and know that it is your responsibility to learn about instructor and general academic expectations with regard to proper citation of sources as specified in the APA Publication Manual, 6th Ed. (Students are held accountable for in-text citations and an associated reference list only). 

Phase 1: (5%) (Due in Week 4)

Step 1:  Select a topic not specifically discussed in class from the Unique Ethical Issues from weeks 3, 5, 7.  

Step 2:  Write a brief one-to-two page paper that introduces the unique ethical issue that will be researched and identify the ethical dilemma that will be discussed. 

Step 3:  Provide 10 scholarly or credible resources that you will use in the paper as supporting documentation.  Three of the resources will come from the class readings. 

Step 4:  Submit in the Assignment Folder.

Note:  Once  the instructor has provided approval, you will thoroughly research on the topic.

Third person writing is required.  Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing).  If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link:  http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person.

Contractions are not used in business writing, so you are expected NOT to use contractions in writing this assignment. 

The expectation is that you provide a robust use of the course readings.  No other books besides the course eBook can be used.   When using a source document, the expectation is that the information is cited and referenced with a page or paragraph number.
