The purpose of the discussions is to glean ideas and spark conversations between and among students. The discussions should reflect students' knowledge regarding the discussion questions/comments and synthesize the concepts within the text, outside sources, and application to real world situations. Discussions may be opinion based but should be backed up by facts and/or rationale. The initial post should be a minimum of 200 words due on Thursday with the reply post a minimum of 100 words due on the following Sunday. See the course outline for due dates. Late discussions will not be accepted. Team Case Study and PowerPoint Presentation The team case study for each team is KFC. The team case study has two components: written paper and PowerPoint presentation. There should be a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed articles per student included as research sources in the written paper. The students will be required to include information from the articles within the team paper and presentation. Each team member is required to participate. Team members names will be posted in the News Forum by the end of Week 2. Students who receive negative reviews from team members may face a penalty of a 20-50 point deduction from the team score. No points will be given for any team member who does not participate at all. The team members are to work together to research, analyze, and comprise the paper and the PowerPoint presentation. Overall analysis and synthesis of the paper and presentation will be evaluated for the team case study grades. The team is expected to follow the Case Study Guidelines. The evaluations of the team grade will be assessed on the submitted paper and presentation according to the Case Study Guidelines, Case Study Rubric, and the 7th edition of the APA Manual. A sample paper has been provided. The sample paper provides excellent guidance for sections to include in the Case Study (See the course outline for due dates.) Peer Reviews Each (and every) student is required to assess himself/herself and his/her team members at the end of the term as to participation and preparation of the team case study. (See the course outline for due date.) Late peer reviews will not be accepted. Test The test is comprised of 50 multiple choice questions based upon the strategies studied in this course.
