Everything I pasted below can be seen in the syllabus I attached and the rubric is also on the last page of the syllabus.

Independent Article Reports (IAR):Each student will submit two, 5-page independent article reports. For each of the two IARs, students will select one currentarticle to review (not more than 6 months old) from traditional, editor-reviewed media sources (i.e. the Wall Street Journal, the NewYork Times, Time Magazine, the Star-Ledger, Sports Illustrated, CNN.com, FOXNews.com, NBCNews.com, USA Today, theAsbury Park Press, etc.). If a student is unsure whether their article fits this requirement, then they should consult with theInstructor. The article must be about ethics, social responsibility, or stakeholder management. Any topic covered in class by orbefore the IAR’s submission date is acceptable. Remember, this is a business course and is part of a business school curriculum.As such, students should not choose articles that focus on politics or the political climate either locally, nationally, or globally.IARs will normally be graded and returned within two weeks. As this is a writing intensive course, in addition to each report’scontent students will be graded based on their writing style, grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

Addendum A: Guidance on Preparing an Independent Article ReportFirst and foremost, an independent article report (IAR) is not a book report. As such, students should avoid providinga simple summary of their selected article. Providing a simple summary of the article will result in a “0” grade for theassignment. Each IAR should be prepared with standard word processing software (i.e. Microsoft Word, ApacheOpen Office, Corel WordPerfect, etc.) and adhere to standard APA formatting guidelines as described below.A clear and concise, yet potent writing style will be necessary to score well on the IARs. Approximately 1 page ofeach IAR should provide some background on the article with the remaining 4 pages emphasizing the student’sanalysis of the article. Each IAR should be presented in APA format including an APA-formatted cover page (youdo not need to include an abstract page) and the full 5 page report itself. In addition, students must include aReferences page indicating the citation for the chosen article and any other sources referenced in the paper. As perapproved APA guidelines, the IAR should adhere to the following document style and citation format: 12 pointTimes New Roman font with one inch margins on all sides of each page. IARs must be double-spaced; no additionalspacing is permitted before or after any paragraph lines. When a student’s IAR is due, the report must be submittedvia eCampus. Late reports will be subject to grade reductions for each day, week, or partial week that the report isoverdue.

When students are preparing their IARs, the following points should guide their thoughts:

1. What is the theme of the article from your point of view?

2. How does this article relate to business ethics?

3. What are the theory (or theories) of business ethics found within the article?a. Students should refer to and reference theories from the class lectures and readings in this section

4. What is your personal reaction to the article?

5. What would you have done if you were in a management or leadership position in the situation presented inthe article?

In applying these guiding questions, students may consider breaking their IARs into the following headings:

• Theme of the Article

• Relationship to Business Ethics

• The Theories of Business Ethics Mentioned

• Reaction to the Article’s Content

• How I Would Address the Issue
