Here’s some guidance as to how this will be graded – how you can earn points:
Structure, Organization, Ease of reading, Grammar: 2 Points
- Did you write this to be easy to read? For example, have you avoided huge blocks of text with no headers? Did you use (sparingly but where needed) highlighting (bold, underline, italic text)?
- Did you follow the structure of the sample Assignment 1?
- Did you follow the advice given in the lectures and From Your Instructor about the format?
- Did you follow rules of English grammar, spelling, and syntax? Did you fix errors pointed out via Word’s editing capabilities (e.g. squiggly blue or red underlined text)?

- Did you provide numbers – percentages, monetary amounts, resources used, etc., to make your point, where possible?
References and resources: 1 Point
- Did you provide at least one additional reference (you can use the article as one) to a business journal or scholarly source to support assertions you made above? NOTE: if your Assignment focuses on a personal experience, note that and you do not need to add an additional reference – however be sure you provide a good illustrative example to gain this point.
Other things to consider:
- Did you add value from your own professional and/or personal experience
- Did you make appropriate use of figures and tables in an appendix? Don’t substitute quantity for quality here – one good, relevant, and meaningful small table is worth 100 randomly inserted graphs and charts.
Examples (for structure ideas, just to be familiar with what has been submitted – not to be copied of course)
- Here is one example:

Overall, your Assignment should:
… be written as a managerial report, with an Executive Summary
…contains citations, related to assertions that you have made
…be true to the request of the assignment. Will a reader really learn how being self-aware is an important first step?
Aim for about 5-7 pages of standard text, not counting cover sheet, table of contents and/or any appendices.
