Oct. 25 Final Draft Word Count and Setup Requirement: • 1000-1200 words (plus an APA cover page and a References page) • Double-spaced lines • Case study source identified with APA in-text citations and on a Reference page • 12-point Times New Roman font • 3 rd person point of view WHAT: After gathering evidence from a case study provided by your instructor, write an essay in which you evaluate how effectively a real-life company solved a problem. Use the Rhetorical Structure defined in the HOW section. HOW: BRAINSTORM: Carefully read the case study provided by your instructor and then ask yourself the following questions before drafting this assignment: What was the problem encountered by the company? What solution was implemented? What steps were involved? Who implemented the solution? (What company? What agents within that company?) What did people within the company have to say about the solution? When was the solution implemented? Where was the solution implemented? Why this solution? (Was it effective? How do you know?) FOCUS/THESIS: Try using this as a thesis statement model: ENG 3107: Writing for the Professions—Business & Social Sciences Rev.12.12.19 The solution ___________________________ Company X implemented to solve (define the problem) ___________________________________________ did/did not work effectively because ________________________________________________________. (You can list more than one reason). RHETORICAL STRUCTURE or ARRANGEMENT: (Use these subheadings) Introduction: Inform the reader of the company your evaluation will discuss, the problem the company faced, and the solution the company implemented. You can use 2 or 3 paragraphs for your introduction. End your introduction with your thesis statement. Evaluation of Solution: Using evidence from the Case Study and your own reasoning, discuss, point by point, why you think the solution did or did not work effectively. Remember, any solution to a problem must address the root cause of the problem. (Remember, state your thoughts and evaluation factually, without use of 1st person “I”, “me”, or “my”.) Conclusion: End this essay with a one-paragraph summary of your Case Study Evaluation’s main points. NOTE: Do not use more than 1 direct/exact quote (properly formatted and cited) per page. Most of this should be paraphrased into your own words. REVISE the entire document several times to ensure you have conveyed your thoughts clearly, you have developed your paragraphs with details, facts, reasons, examples or evidence, and you have shown logical transitions from one paragraph to the next. EDIT: Print your essay and read it ALOUD to check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. REMEMBER to SUBMIT your draft(s) to your WRITING SPECIALIST in your Online Writing LAB (ENG 3108). Your OWL WRITING SPECIALIST will help you develop a polished, well-crafted final version of your work.
