Module 3 - SLP
THE IMPACT OF BIG BUSINESS
Goal of this Session Long Project:
This assignment is the third of four SLPs where you will be building a bank of takeaways pertaining to ethical and/or unethical behaviors.
After reviewing this SLP scenario:
Express your reactions
Apply your own background/experiences
State important takeaways
Add other comments you would like to make
Your SLP submission should be 2 to 3 pages of text, well organized, well written, and 100% error free. You may use first-or third-person voice. Write in full sentences. Demonstrate your critical-thinking skills. No outside reference materials are required (unless stated*); however, add applicable course material. Be creative (for example, add color and/or small graphics).
*Note: In SLP 2 we introduced the importance of library research. So, in SLP 3 also support your arguments with sources from the Trident Online Library. This is an expectation at the graduate level.
