ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The report must adhere to the following guidelines:
Your grade is based upon the quality of your responses and supporting arguments, which must integrate the relevant course concepts, as well as the ability to communicate your ideas.
Your argument should be logical and supported by facts from the case.
Do not provide definitions of concepts in your case analyses, rather apply the concepts to the case facts.
Do not present a summary of the case, instead offer a well-supported evaluation using case information and incorporating concepts from the readings.
Your case analysis must be well organized and structured as one continuous document. If there are multiple questions do NOT divide your memo into different sections to answer each question separately.
A well-organized analysis starts with starts with an introductory paragraph which is followed by several additional paragraphs that expand on the information presented in the introduction.
Each subsequent paragraph has a main sentence followed by several sentences that present information that supports the main sentence. This information can come from the case readings or your own research or experience.
Avoid putting many different ideas into one sentence or paragraph. Develop each point separately.
Well-organized memos have paragraphs structured so that the strongest arguments are first, followed by progressively weaker arguments.
You can address the memo to whomever you want. Assume that the reader is familiar with the case and has read the assigned case materials.
These are individual assignments.
Use a formal citation style (any formal style you want).
