Assignment:
Term Paper: Each student should write a term paper on any topic in the general area of Supply Chain Management, or Operations Management. The research must include at least 3 original sources as references in the report. Internet sources are not acceptable as one of the three references, but may be added in addition to the three required sources.
You may use any of the widely accepted citation format such as APA (American Psychology Association) format.
Response should be 5 pages, double spaced.
The focus of the paper must be on original contribution on the part of the writer. You must refer to at least 3 sources (not counting the text book being used) and provide the references in the body of the text using the APA format.
Term Paper Evaluation: Term papers will be evaluated primarily based on the below criteria:
1. Format (no typos, no grammatical errors, good overall structure - includes table of contents, body of paper as described in term paper section, references, appendix - Appendix may include data charts or graph or any otherrelevant material to the topic);
2. Content (richness, it delivers a well-balanced and clearly yet concisely stated message, the use of graphs to illustrate data or ideas, etc.);
3. Originality (the entire paper must be a true expression of your own thoughts and perspective rather than copying and patching together a bunch of clauses or sentences from various resources). It's absolutely required that you give credit to the sources of your references;
4. Relevance to and compliance to the requirements of the paper as stated in the Term Paper segment.
