Dear Student,
(You, and many others, need to rewrite this paper and submit it by Tuesday evening. Please see my important comments in the attached Word file.)
This week we asked you to do the second part of Project 2. Detailed instructions for this assignment were found in the Project 2 section in our online classroom. Just a general reminder: Make sure you always follow the instructions in the course content for all assignments 😉 I recommend making a bulleted list of everything we ask for, and check off each point as you complete each item.
The instructions for this assignment in the course content area included identifying the codes and then locating sources to help you develop your paper, first detailing the three top trends in your industry. HERE IS SOME GENERAL INFORMATION THAT MAY OR MAY NOT APPLY TO YOUR SUBMISSION. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED, MARKED WORD FILE FOR COMMENTS SPECIFICALLY ON YOUR ASSIGNMENT!
The steps were clearly listed in the assignment information, for example including a research question (avoiding questions that can be answered with a simple “Yes” or “No”). The question should be focused enough to discuss in a short paper like this one.
You were asked to use peer-reviewed, academic sources, just not information posted on the web.
The paper should discuss three trends and then one issue within one of the trends that you deem important, based on the current state of the industry, supported by your analysis of facts and a well-reasoned conclusion of what it means to the industry.
The paper was supposed to use APA 7th edition (student version) formatting. The length should be from five to seven double-spaced pages of actual text. It should start with an introductory paragraph and also have the following sections: Findings (top three trends, an important emerging issue), conclusions and references.
I have attached both the rubric and a marked-up word file here in the assignment folder/grade book with SPECIFIC COMMENTS FOR YOUR PAPER. Email me if you are not able to see my comments.
Thanks, and remember to email all questions for me. Also, remember that it is easy to get overwhelmed. Make sure you work through the steps outlined for Project 3 in the information for this project and read my specific advice in a recent announcement. If you do not have or want a LinkedIn profile, or cannot have one due to restrictions at work, you may do the following alternative Project 3 assignment:
Write a 500 word essay (longer is OK) where you answer the following:
How competitive are you in your industry and how best would you present yourself to prospective employers?
This comes in addition to the branding statement, which is the other part of the assignment.
Please make sure you note that you do the alternative assignment in the assignment folder’s message area when you post it.
Thanks,
Mona
