General Instructions for all “In the News” Assignments For each “In the News” assignment, students will be assigned an article to review followed by some instructions regarding how to specifically analyze the article. Each submission must contain at least two references to substantiate the responses provided. One of the references must be the course textbook. Remember references should be accompanied by their corresponding citations in the body of the writing. When inserting references and their corresponding citations, students should follow APA format. *Note all work will be compared to ensure no “cheating” has occurred. The comparison is not limited to this particular course, but submissions from past semesters and other courses too. Any submissions that are not original will be awarded zero credit, and FIU’s leadership will be notified of the incident. All students should review this article. Students with a last name beginning with the letter A-M, select at least two (but feel free to select more) of the first five items (1-5) from the list to focus on for this assignment. Students with a last name beginning with the letter N-Z, select at least two (but feel free to select more) of the last five items (6-10) from the list to focus on for this assignment. Read chapters 1 an 2 of the course textbook re: project management The mandatory slides to be included are: 1. cover, 2. a summary description of the predictions selected; this is a good slide to utilize external resources other than the course textbook 3-4. Based on the textbook reading (and other sources), how do the predictions relate to the relate to the topics discussed in the course textbook (chapters 1 and 2 only). 5. references Be sure not to over-complicate this submission; follow the slide sequence provided. Slide criteria: Slides should contain some kind of design. Simple black text on a white background is not acceptable. Each slide should contain a photo or graph to coincide with its text. A grammar or spell check should be conducted before submission. Text on the slides should be listed in a bulleted/list format, not huge paragraph chunks. There should be a minimum of 4 bulleted items per slide (but there can be more). Audio voiceovers are required for this presentation, and the audio should go beyond just reading the text that is on the slide. If there is no audio voiceover by the student, 15% will be taken from the final score (on top of any other issues identified).
