The course project is done as a team. Each team member will have 3 cases in each of the assignments to do individually and the team will then bring their individual cases together and create a joint narrated power point presentation. The individual cases will be done an APA word document that includes all of the cases from each student on the team for that assignment. These will be individually graded. The presentations will be completed as team and present results based on the case analysis done by each student. To receive credit, each student must submit the paper and presentation even though this should be identical for each student on the team.The cases used are at the end of every chapter. Each case also has case questions which must be addressed. To best understand the cases read “Guide to Reading Cases” on pages x to xii in the textbook.The teams will be formed in week 1. Students will include their time zones so the professor can form teams by time zone for online students. This is not necessary for onsite.The course project has 3 assignments due in weeks 4, 6 and 8.
