- Watch the video to complete the homework(http://docuseek2.com.mutex.gmu.edu/cart/product/519)
- Your post/replies can only be based on the Assigned Material (“Hot Coffee” video (first vignette) and chapters 2 and 5 of the textbook), and other responses (for your replies). Internet resources and other resources outside the course material are prohibited, as is collaboration.
- Your post should be 250-300 words and each reply should be approximately 150 words.
- Showing substantive knowledge of the Assigned Material requires addressing the prompt and providing at least FIVE accurate examples or support from the Assigned Material (with citations) supporting your analysis and in your own words (DO NOT QUOTE, OR CUT/PASTE, show your own understanding in your own words in your Post and Replies).
- You must cite ALL Assigned Material in your Post, which must include at least one citation to the textbook (chapter 2 and/or 5) and at least four other citations to the Hot Coffee video (at least five citations in your Post), which support your analysis. In other words, you should have at least one citation to each of the items listed in the Assigned Material section on Blackboard and no less than five citations total.
- Each reply must have at least one citation to the Assigned Material.
- Cite to your sources in parenthesis in the following way: provide the minute from the video (i.e., Hot Coffee 5:10) and provide the section/page of the textbook/e-book (i.e., Chapter 4, page 95 or Chapter 4-2b).
- Also, remember you are not being asked for your opinion, you are being asked to apply/analyze the law. A citation list is not required because everyone has access to and is using the same required resources in the Assigned Material list.
- DUE DATES ARE STRICTLY ENFORCED. THESE ARE SERIOUS WRITING ASSIGNMENTS AND THERE IS NO CREDIT FOR POSTING OR REPLYING LATE.
