GROUP PROJECT. To contribute to the development of students’ professional skills, a comprehensive project is included in this course. The project requires students to work in groups and, acting as corporate managers, to research and develop an Analytical Report in a Recommendation – Type format based upon a potential legal issue facing their corporation. This project will be developed throughout the semester with the assistance of the instructor, and will culminate in a presentation by each group of their report to the class as a whole, (who will be acting as the corporate Board of Directors).

GRADING (From Syllabus)

GROUP PROJECT (25% of your grade).

REPORT CHARACTERISTICS

Each report will consist of at least fifteen (15) pages of text, (exclusive of charts, graphs, and appendices). This length represents the contribution of at least five (5) pages of text from each member of the standard three student group. Each page of text will be double spaced throughout, with no additional space between paragraphs. The left and right margins of each page of text will be set at one (1”) inch. Type face used throughout shall be Times New Roman, (Twelve (12) Point Font). The bottom of each page of text shall be numbered, with said number centered. Additionally, the authors of each section of text shall be identified by name at the beginning of each section of text. Finally, in addition to the above fifteen pages of text requirement, each report shall have an Endnotes Page, (no footnotes), a separate Cover Page, a Table of Contents Page, and supporting Appendices.

The above represents the minimum standards necessary for successful completion of the written requirements for this group project. Failure to meet these minimum requirements, (particularly text length), will result in a significant reduction in grade points. Again, please note that every student will be graded individually for their independent work product. Failure of a student to complete their required portion of the project will not negatively affect the individual grades of the remaining group members.
