Term Paper Assignment
Choose a work setting that you know well and relate your experience/understanding of the experience of working there with relevant concepts and theories introduced in the course.
Write a 7-10 paged typed double-spaced paper that addresses the following:
How well does the concept/theory explain developments there? Where does it fall short and why?
How does the case inform our general understanding of the work experience.
Only rely on the references assigned and discussed in class.
Do not use googled sources for additional reference!! This assignment tests how well you can apply concepts and theories introduced in the course to an actual works setting.
List the references from the reader at the top of the first page, underneath the title before the text.
