case_study_paper_assessment.docx
The student will submit a case study paper of at least 500 words, not including title or reference page, by the end of class during each week they are due. Each case study is worth 85 points. The student will use at least one source, the course textbook, to support the conclusions provided. All references are to be from academic journals, professional or academic textbooks, authored websites, or standard business publications, such as The Wall Street Journal. Not more that 15% of the content can be taken directly from all sources. This means if Turnitin is used, then the similarity index must be 15% or lower. The final score of the case study will be reduced by one point for each percentage point over 15%.
NOTE: Wikipedia and un-authored web sites are not acceptable sources. If you used these types of sources you will lose points.
