3. Your response should incorporate the objectives of the module with the requirements of this assignment.

Your Case paper will be further evaluated based on the following criteria:

Precision (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)

• Each question and or assignment requirement is addressed in the paper
• Accuracy of your answers, key points and supporting discussion

Clarity (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)

• The paper is well organized, concise, reads clearly, and it is not confusing.

Breadth (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)

• The paper presents appropriate breadth covering the assignment questions/requirements

Depth (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)

• Presents key points that lead to deeper matters and issues
• Integrates several points into coherent conclusions

Critical Thinking (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)

• The paper demonstrates good understanding and synthesis of the module background material
• Logically incorporates key concepts presented in the background material into the overall analyses, key points and supporting discussions
• Present well-reasoned conclusions and positions as well as convincing arguments in support of the same

Writing Mechanics

• Spelling (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)
• Vocabulary (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)
• Referencing (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)

Additional considerations to keep in mind while working on your case assignments:

Originality and Use of directly quoted material

• The purpose of each assignment is for you to present your understanding and synthesis of the background material and key concepts. Accordingly, this must be accomplished substantially in your own words.

• Use directly quoted material sparingly and only when preserving the exact words of an author is necessary. For purposes of this course, rarely should directly quoted material represent more than 5-10 percent of your entire case paper's content. Composing a paper patched together from mostly quoted material is not acceptable.

• Be sure to properly reference all directly quoted material and include the in-text citations.
