Overview:
The purpose of this project is to give you an opportunity to
examine and evaluate a specific organization’s behavior from an ethical and
social responsibility view point. This
Project is broken into 6 parts to be completed over 6 weeks.
Week 1: Write an introduction and discuss why you choose
this particular organization.
Week 2: Prepare a summary of your research.
Week 3: Prepare a summary of a personal interview or
personal commentary.
Week 4: Write a draft of the paper
Week 5: Revise the draft using input from both your
instructor and your peers
Week 6: Submit your final version for grading.

academic writing style. The paper must follow all APA formatting requirements

Using APA is available in your Course Materials folder.
Individual Research Project: Part IV Instructions:
Your goal this week
is to create a draft version of your report and to post your work in
preparation for a peer review process. While the draft should be free of typos
and grammatical errors, it may include a few "placeholders" to
indicate ideas or paragraphs that are still being developed. For example, if you have four main issues you
want to address in your research report, your draft might have one of the main
topics still "under construction."
Of course, the more complete your draft, the better the feedback you
will get to help you improve your final version.
Using the research material you gathered in the last three
weeks as your foundation, prepare a draft version of a five to eight page (5-8
page) research paper addressing the key issues of your chosen topic. Draw conclusions about your findings and let
your reader know what you think the future holds. By the end of the week you
are responsible for posting your work to your Small Group Discussion Forum so
that early next week your classmates have access to your work and can provide
responsible evaluations. Make certain
that you post to the correct Small Group Discussion Forum.
