HOW TO COMPLETE THE CASE STUDIES:
There will be eight case studies in which teams of students will answer the corresponding questions (two pages minimum). These assignments will be due by 11:59 PM (Eastern) on the second Sunday of the Module in which they are assigned. Follow APA Style 7 ed. guidelines for these assignments including adding separate title and reference pages. Use in-text citations to identify which source was used to support the response. At least two peer-reviewed academic journal articles should be used as support material. Use the Q & A format if desired. Responses to the questions must be analytical and well-developed using course concepts and source material for support. Critical thinking and in-depth analysis will be among the criteria used to evaluate your work.
