INSTRUCTIONS

· Students must individually answer the questions presented in the case study in a maximum of three-page double-spaced pages that will be turned in via Moodle (using turnitin.com).

· You can choose to treat it as an essay, where you would have an intro, body, and conclusion, or you could just answer the questions using full sentences.

· Please use 12-point font and standard one-inch margins. 

· Students will be graded on: a) grammar (40%) and b) content, including integration of key course concepts, use of relevant examples, and thoroughness of responses (60%). You are expected to apply course content to answer the case questions and use applicable examples from the movie to substantiate your response.

· If you use outside sources (not a requirement), you need to cite them properly using a referencing style such as APA or MLA.

· The case study must be completed individually. Please make sure that the work you turn in is your own. Turnitin will check the similarity of your submission to all internet content, papers completed at other universities, and your classmates’ papers.

· The case will be due in three weeks. No late assignments will be accepted.
