Write a report on a trend in business that you’ve observed, and highlight at least the main finding. For example, from the rising cost of textbooks to the online approach to course content, textbooks are a significant issue for students. Draw from your experience as you bring together sources of information to illustrate a trend.
In addition to the guidelines in Exercise 2, your report will need to include the following requirements:
The report will be five pages (not including the title page, abstract, or references page) double-spaced, not including the cover page, abstract page and list of references.
You need to use at least four reliable outside sources published within the last five years.
The report will include at least one visual aid, which does not take up more than one-half page of the report. This visual aid must be discussed in the paragraph above or below it. It must be cited with according to APA citation guidelines.
You will use 7th edition APA Style to document/credit sources (in-text citations are required for all paraphrases, summaries, and quotes from source material). You should review the rules for formatting a citation for the References list and for formatting in-text citations. However, it is not necessary for you to compose a references page citation from scratch. Use a citation generator. The citation generators produce the citations for you. You plug in the information about your source and the generator gives you the citation. There are several free ones available. I recommend this citation generator: Son of Citation Machine. You can access this generator at: http://citationmachine.net (Links to an external site.)
In keeping with APA format, after the cover page, your report will include an Abstract. An abstract is just a paragraph summary of your report. Your abstract does not have to include keywords as described in the OWL Purdue guidelines.
You will be graded based on grammar/punctuation/writing skills, so be sure to proofread your work carefully.
Your report must include 12 pt font. Do not use bold or underlining anywhere in the report unless you are using APA headings (see 7th ed APA guidelines).
Do not include first or second person anywhere in the report.
Include page numbers.
Do not use a running head (this is used for 6th edition APA formatting, but we are using 7th edition).
Create an original title (do not use the name of the assignment as your report’s title)
