Step 8: Watch video and write comment paper, via instructions listed below.
The students are required to watch a video presentation. As a follow-up assignment to the video, the student will prepare a one (1)-page “Comment Paper”. Each student will be required to submit seven (7) comment papers. Your comment paper will incorporate external readings (Business Week, WSJ, etc.) and include observations of the video. Your comment paper will be due Sunday evenings, before midnight. Each paper will receive a grade based upon its ability to recognize one (or more) key issue (s) in the video and how those issues will impact today’s marketplace. My expectation is that the papers will provide insight and thought and not just a regurgitation of the video or readings, and will also include at least two quality-cited references from additional outside readings (I prefer detailed footnotes). The speaker’s company or their bio website can be cited in your paper but will not be counted toward your minimum 2 citations. In the end, the instructor expects to have learned something from reading your paper. Citations are expected to be footnoted! (How to footnote:
http://www2.oberlin.edu/faculty/svolk/citation.htm) Videos can be viewed in BB. Your assignment/paper submission window is open for the same period of time and closes Sunday at 11:59pm. No late papers will be accepted. ALL COMMENT PAPER SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ATTACHED IN WORD DOC FORMAT!!!!!! Each paper will be no longer than one (1) FULL page, and will be typed, single-spaced and spell/grammar checked. Late comment papers will not be accepted. Running over the page limit by a sentence or two is acceptable, as is placing the footnotes on a second page. If you fail to observe the video, or neglect to incorporate its essence within your paper, you will not receive a passing grade for that paper. You must balance reflecting a component of the video along with researched and documented sources.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: My expectation is that the papers will provide insight and thought and not just a regurgitation of the video or readings, and will also include at least two quality-cited references from additional outside readings (I prefer detailed footnotes). The speaker’s company or their bio website can be cited in your paper but will not be counted toward your minimum 2 citations. In the end, the instructor expects to have learned something from reading your paper.
