 APA Format

The Health Care Administration Department follows the APA format for writing. You will be expected to successfully write your assignments using APA guidelines. There are several documents on BeachBoard that will give you hints and directions regarding APA. There are also a number of websites, as well as the APA manual 6th edition.

Helpful cites:

https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

http://www.apastyle.org/

Individual Assignments:

5

All individual assignments must be computer-typed and word-processed, in the format described in the latest APA manual. It is very important that you note that the writing style guide that the department requires for citations is APA 6th Edition. It is highly recommended that all students have a copy of the book. A quick style guide can be accessed through the University Library is on BeachBoard. More information about APA style is on Beachboard (BB) content for the course.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES - Successful students follow both oral and written instructions. The syllabus and information on BeachBoard (BB) are the primary sources of instructions; so successful students should read the instructions carefully and refer to them regularly. Successful students ask question before due dates. Successful students look up information first so that they ask informed questions. If they can’t find the answers, they contact the instructor via voice mail or email or texting.

Successful students pay close attention to how they can best and most easily learn the material in a particular subject area. You may find it helpful to take a learning styles inventory to guide your study habits. If you have difficulty figuring out how best to learn the material in this class, please make an appointment to see me.

Syllabus Quiz

Online classes are very different than the traditional face to face classes. It is absolutely imperative that you read the syllabus carefully in order to be successful. Oftentimes students simply scan the syllabus thinking they will look up topics as they need them. This is not a successful plan. Students need to study the syllabus and plan their semester accordingly. For this reason, I am adding a syllabus quiz to the requirements. You must read the syllabus in order to be able to answer the questions. The quiz is located under the quizzes tab.

APA Quiz (20 Points)

Watch the following videos and review the APA documents on BeachBoard. Then complete the APA quiz. The quiz is located under the quizzes tab.

Space Between the Dimensions – Must show word count – 450 to 500 words

Write a paper (450 to 500 words) answering the question below. You must use at least 3 references and it must be grammatically correct. Points will be deducted for grammar and APA errors. Your references may come from your readings about globalization or from other research you complete.

What is Globalization mean to you? Globalization is one of the most charged issues of the day. It is everywhere in public discourse – in TV sound bites and slogans on placards, in web-sites and learned journals, in parliaments, corporate boardrooms and labor meeting halls. Extreme opponents charge it with impoverishing the world's poor, enriching the rich and devastating the environment, while fervent supporters see it as a high-speed elevator to universal peace and prosperity. So, what did you think?

Note: There is no right or wrong answer; however, this is a critical thinking exercise and it is important that you are operating at a post-conventional level.

This paper should be (450 to 500 words) – reference list can be on a separate page (The reference list is not included in the word count.).

Please make sure that you submit your responses in a Microsoft Word document to the dropbox.

This paper will be submitted to Turn-It-In software in the dropbox. .  The Turn-it-In percentage must be 25% or less which can be seen via your “originality” report.   If you have a percentage between 25% and 35%, you can receive no higher than a 70%. All assignments with a higher than 35% will not be accepted and you will receive an F (0 grade) for the assignment.

Global Issues Project

Using the information from Chapter 1 and additional resources, you can locate, complete the Global Issues Template located under the content section of BeachBoard.

have completed the project, upload it to the dropbox and also upload it to the discussion board. Also, comment on two of your classmate’s projects.

Midterm: Multiple choice and true false questions from the material covered in the first half of the class. You will only be allowed one attempt.

Final Research Paper

A 8 to 10 page, double-spaced research paper using Arial or Times Roman 12 point font. It should be one of the topics covered and discussed in this course. The paper should address the issues of cultural differences in work-related aspects of society. The focus should be on countries and/or regions other than the US; however, the comparative analysis between other nations and the US is appropriate. You may also consider such Globalization issues as the effect of Globalization on a certain professional field or similar). In general, choose a topic that is relevant to the course topics and discussions, on the one hand; and on the other, something that is relevant to your own professional, personal, and/or academic experience and interests. This is the designated assignment for your e-portfolio.

The paper must be written and organized according to APA format; particularly, pay attention to citations and references of research sources, and to the correspondence between citations in the text of your essay and references at the end. It is expected that you will be using 10 different sources (minimum) that will include academic publications, national/international database, media/news reports, etc. The cover sheet, abstract page, and reference pages do not count as part of the 8 to 10 pages. You do need page numbers.

Do not exceed the 10 page limit. One aspect of this assignment is learning how to consolidate and organize your paper so it stays within the limits of the 10 pages. It is possible that additional pages will result in point deduction.
