Capstone Assignment Instructions
The purpose of the assignment is to have students apply one or more of the concepts discussed in class to a real-world workplace example. Find an example of a topic and/or concept that we cover in the course in the media or in your jo
workplace, and, in writing, apply the concept to the real-world example (1 page minimum).
You can use an example of an event or problem in your workplace (or past workplace), and use the concept to explain why it was a problem and/or what the solution should be. You can also find news articles or op-eds (articles expressing an opinion), television shows, films, music, literature, or other media sources.
1. Explain your real-world example of a workplace issue that you either found in a media source or through your own personal experience
2. define and describe the concept that relates to the real-world example
3. clearly explain how the concept can be applied to your real-world example
No need for formal citations, just be sure to paste a link to an article if you are using a media source so that I can read the article you are describing.
