Post your position in the Discussion area for Week 6 by Thursday..  By Saturday, you will refute the validity of the opposite viewpoint of at least three classmates based on your arguments.  By Sunday, respond to those students who responded to your initial post.  You are expected to maintain your position at all times.  In responding on Saturday and Sunday, you are expected to support the position put forth.  The course material must be used to provide the support.

Completing the Learning Activity

• Read the grading rubric for the project.  Use the grading rubric while completing the project to ensure all requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade.

• Third person writing is required.  Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing).  If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link:  http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person.

• Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them.

• Paraphrase and do not use direct quotation marks.  Paraphrase means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document, but put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage to the source document.  Not using direct quotation marks means that there should be no passages with quotation marks and instead the source material is paraphrased as stated above.  Provide the page or paragraph number when using in-text citations.  Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa.   

• You may not use books as source material.
