Completing the Exam 
In to complete this exam, you will want to first read the module, Learn How to Support What You Write, as this assignment requires you to use the course material and research to support what you write.  Also, 
· Read      and use the grading rubric while completing the exam to ensure all      requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade.
· Third      person writing is required.  Third person means that there are      no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is      there use of “you or your” (second person writing).  If      uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link:  http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person.
· Contractions      are not used in business writing, so do not use them.
· Paraphrase      and do not use direct quotation marks.  Paraphrase means you do not      use more than four consecutive words from a source document.  Instead      put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the      passage to the source document.  Not using direct quotation marks      means that there should be no passages with quotation marks and instead      the source material is paraphrased as stated above.  Note that a      reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated      in-text citation and vice versa.   You may not use more than      four consecutive words from a source document, as doing so would require      direct quotation marks.  Changing words from a passage does not      exclude the passage from having quotation marks.   If more than      four consecutive words are used from source documents, this material will      not be included in the grade and could lead to allegations of academic      dishonesty.
· You      are expected to use the weekly course materials to develop the analysis      and support the reasoning.   Materials used from a source      document must be cited and referenced.  A reference within a      reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and      vice versa.  Changing words from a passage does not exclude the      passage from having quotation marks.   If more than four      consecutive words are used from source documents, this material will not      be included in the grade and could lead to allegations of academic      dishonesty.
· Use      in-text citations and provide a reference list that contains the reference      associated with each in-text citation.
· The      only book you may use is the course eBook.  You may not use a      dictionary or Wikipedia, or Encyclopedias.
· Provide      the page or paragraph number in every in-text citation presented.  If      the eBook does not have pages, provide the chapter title and topic      heading. Note that this is not an APA requirement but an Attention to      Instructions requirement.
