This paper is the
key assignment for SMGT 302. This paper is an opportunity for you to
investigate and demonstrate an understanding of a topic related to facility
and/or event management, and to make practical applications. For examples of
topics, see the textbook, course module learning outcomes, or discuss the paper
with your professor.
This is a formal
paper and must be written in current APA format. It must include a title page, abstract, and
reference list per current APA guidelines. The body of the paper must be at
least 8 pages, using Times New Roman 12-point font, with 1 inch margins all
around. The title page, abstract and reference list are not considered in the
page count. A third-person writing style (impartial voice) should be used. The
primary focus of the paper is to present information on your selected topic and
current academic research related to that topic. Each of the following should
be included in the paper:
·
Title
page
·
Abstract
·
Brief
overview of your selected topic with connection to the textbook/class (1 page)
·
Detailed
explanation of the topic based on trade/news sources (3 pages)

A review
of relevant academic research based on peer-reviewed journal articles (2 pages)
·
A
description of biblical principles that can be applied to the topic (1 page)
·
Conclusion
(1 paragraph)
·
Reference
list
The paper must include a minimum of 6
references (at least 2 of which must be peer-reviewed journal articles), in
addition to the course textbooks and the Bible. The main ideas for the paper need to be supported by these sources. The
library web site has a good tutorial on what peer-reviewed sources are, and how
to find them.
While you are
encouraged to use as much reference material as possible to find your
information, the entire written project must be your own work. Severe penalties
will be enforced for plagiarizing information which includes cutting and
pasting, copying from internet sources, or failing to cite your sources. All
information used (articles, websites, etc.) should be referenced using current APA
format.
The paper must be
submitted in Blackboard as a Microsoft Word document. The Safe Assign tool will
be used to check the paper for originality in writing.
This assignment is due by 11:59
p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 7.
