A presentation of 10-12 slides, with either voice-over on
the slides, or with detailed notes included with your slides.

Assignment Expectations
Your submission will be evaluated using the criteria as
stated in the Case rubric. The following is a review of the rubric criteria:
Assignment-Driven: Does the submission fully address all
aspects of the assignment? Is the assignment addressed accurately and precisely
using sound logic? Does it meet minimum length requirements?
Critical Thinking: Does the submission demonstrate graduate-level
analysis, in which information derived from multiple sources, expert opinions,
and assumptions has been critically evaluated and synthesized in the
formulation of a logical set of conclusions? Does it address the topic with
sufficient depth of discussion and analysis?
Business Writing: Is the submission logical, well organized
and well written? Are the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary appropriate for
graduate-level work? Are section headings included? Are paraphrasing and
synthesis of concepts the primary means of responding, or is
justification/support instead conveyed through excessive use of direct
quotations?
Effective Use of Information: Does the submission
demonstrate that the student has read, understood, and can apply the background
materials for the module? If required, has the student demonstrated effective
research, as evidenced by student’s use of relevant and quality (library?)
sources? Do additional sources used provide strong support for conclusions
drawn, and do they help in shaping the overall paper?
Citing Sources: Does the student demonstrate understanding
of APA Style of referencing, by inclusion of proper citations (for paraphrased
text and direct quotations) as appropriate? Have all sources (e.g., references
used from the Background page, the assignment readings, and outside research)
been included, and are these properly cited? Have all sources cited in the
paper been included on the References page?
Timeliness: Has the assignment been submitted to TLC
(Trident’s learning management system) on or before the module’s due date?
