Focus of the Final Paper

The Final Paper should demonstrate understanding of concepts addressed across the course as applied to a selected case study.

To begin, review the case study you selected in Week Two of the course. Remember, you must use this case study.

Examples of scholarly sources include peer reviewed journal articles, research studies, professional websites with authored material, and government websites.  Popular Internet sites (Wikipedia, Newsweek, New York Times, etc.) are not considered scholarly sources. For further assistance in determining whether or not a site is scholarly, please access the Evaluating Web Resources tutorial on the Ashford University Library website.
