QUESTION 2

• APA Format – Double-spaced – appropriate headers – use in-text citations/references where necessary
• Sections to include:
•         Introduction (this should introduce your paper – what the paper is going to tell the reader)
•         Analysis of Organizational Behavior (this should include an analysis of the final presentation created with your group.
• Compelling Components – Things I Found Most Interesting 
• Difficult Components – Things I Didn’t Fully Understand

Graded on the ability to describe and synthesize what you’ve learned throughout the course and how you might utilize this new knowledge in the business world. Grammar, spelling, and format (neatness) are taken into consideration.

Example: A 5 page paper with some grammatical and spelling errors with no more than answers to the questions and little synthesizing would result in a C letter grade. A 7-page paper, well formatted, well thought out, grammatically correct and a couple of solid in-text citations and references to support what you’re saying would result in an A letter grade.
