You will develop a short paper critically analyzing and summarizing one to three key content points( goal orientation, emotional sensitivity, flexibility) from weekly readings/chapters/articles, etc. Papers must be received by the due date. Remember: At a Master’s level course you are critically evaluating and synthesizing material. Use scholarly articles/journals found in our University Library. Search the databases for reliable, scholarly, academic resources (not Wikipedia, someone’s powerpoint or blog, and keep to a minimum the content you pull from a website). Also, remember an important element of your assignments is to apply the learning – How to apply motivation, leadership, etc. to your organization-your experiences?
The paper will include:
Title/cover page
Introduction (2 paragraphs maximum)
Content/Critical Thinking Analysis (Identify key concepts, theories, and models from weekly assignments, articles-how can you apply this information to an organization- give examples).
Conclusion (2 paragraphs maximum)
References
Papers will be 2-3 pages in content length, mostly narrative in format. See the Rubric for specific details to guide you in developing your papers. Papers must follow Publication Manual of the APA current edition guidelines (especially in regards to citing sources to avoid plagiarized work). You will utilize content from resources, such as scholarly articles, journals, books, assigned videos. (Note: Wikis, blogs, and any other publicly editable or opinion based information is not a scholarly resource).
