Step 1: Course Material
For this project, you are required to use the case scenario facts and the course material. In addition to information from this week’s reading relevant to answering the questions below, you are allowed to use any course material from prior weeks useful in addressing the questions. External sources are not permitted. You are not researching on the Internet or using resources from outside the course. You are expected to answer the requirements identified below, showing the connection between the case scenario facts and the course material. Using course material goes beyond defining terms and explains the ‘why and how’ of a situation. Avoid merely making statements but close the loop of the discussion by explaining how something happens or why something happens, which focuses on importance and impact. In closing the loop, you will demonstrate the ability to think clearly and rationally, showing an understanding of the logical connections between the ideas presented in a case scenario, the course material, and the question(s) being asked. Using one or two in-text citations from the course material will not earn many points on an assignment throughout the paper. The use of a variety of course material is expected to support what is presented consistently. The support must be relevant and applicable to the topic being discussed. Points are not earned for mentioning a term or concept but by clearly explaining or discussing the question at hand.
Step 2: The Questions to Answer
You will answer the 11 questions above provided in Step 1.
Step 3: Write the Report.
Report Format:
Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) report with no more than seven (7) pagesdouble-spaced. Those seven pages do not include the required Title Page, Reference Page, and Appendix. You will use the following format.
The report should use Roman Numeral numbering for each section. Each section should be titled and listed exactly in the order listed above. All answers are to be supported by course materials, cited, and referenced in APA format.
