Type at least 1100 words and cite two sources you use to help answer your research question. None of your sources may include Wikipedia or a personal homepage. You should use reputable sources of information. A reference librarian can help you find these.
• Use MLA format (see your handbook or Blackboard/Angel)
• Understand that papers I find a chore to read because of issues with grammar/mechanics/usage will receive a grade no higher than “C.”
• Papers that fail to meet the required minimum page length will receive a grade no higher than a “C.”
• You must document all information and should include a Works Cited page. Failure to document may result in a failing grade.
When you eventually write the essay, you need to know:
• The issue being argued
• Your position on the issue (thesis)
• The arguments you will make to support your position
• The evidence you’ll use to support your claims. The evidence is usually made up of facts, statistics, expert opinion, logical inferences and personal testimony.
Though there are various forms an argument research paper can take, one of the most common patterns will:
• Introduce the issue and give essential background
• State your position (thesis)
• Summarize major counter claims
• State a claim (argument) and offer evidence
• Offer more claims and evidence
• Conclude by restating the thesis (position) and significance of your research.

Select Case 6 or 7 in the back of the textbook. After you have read the case, select at least one of the questions presented at the end.If you select only one question, then you will need to elaborate with more examples and perspectives than if you select more than one, but the choice is yours. Fair warning: It is possible to fall into the trap of repeating oneself. To avoid that threat, think in advance of the different perspectives that you wish to explore.
If you select more than one question, each answer will naturally be shorter. This may be a good approach if you discern that the questions lack strong potential to elicit in-depth answers.
Remember to reply to the contributions of two other students in this exercise. This is a rule that we are only observing in the case analyses, given the relative complexity of the cases, compared to the chapter discussion questions. Always add value, from the textbook, news, personal experience, or all three. Indicate the case and question at the beginning, but avoid restating the question in your answer.
Write at least 500 words (no minimum for replies, but do add value). Quoted passages do not contribute to the word count (so you will need to write more if you insert any quoted material). Post-edit your work carefully to catch errors. Avoid plagiarism at all cost.
Note on anomalous questions. In Case 6, Question 1 is in two parts, but they do belong together, so treat it as one question. For Question 2, explain the SWOT analysis and what you would highlight in it rather than creating a table. Question 3 is straightforward (both parts belong together). Question 4 is also one question, despite its length. Question 5 is the same.
