Team Project

Team Project Details

A major goal of this course is to encourage you to build learning communities within the course. Your instructor will enroll you in a team. Each team will be composed of three to five classmates.

It is your responsibility to locate your team and communicate with team members during Week 1 of our term. Locate your group by selecting People in the Navigation bar to the left of the screen. Then select Groups. Find your name. Make contact with your group! Inactive team members will be removed from teams and will need to complete the project alone.

For this team project, you will research and discuss organizational environments, creating a four-page research paper that will be submitted during Module 7. Your team will select between 8 and 10 factors to analyze at your workplace, school, or observed organization. Factors to analyze should be chosen from theTeam Project Factors document. Each team will need to conduct a review of each factor selected, accurately describing the factor, followed by examples from team member organizations. Your team will need to review the published research literature on each factor to provide a full and accurate description of that factor.

This assignment is worth 150 points and will be based upon the following requirements:
• Each organizational factor should be described accurately using facts from academic reference sources. Examples should be provided from team member organizations.
• You should use at least four academic journal articles as reference sources for the paper. Do not use popular magazines, blogs, websites, books or newspapers. Use academic journal sources only. Consult the FSCJ online library to find appropriate psychological journal articles. You may use our textbook as an additional source.
• The complete project/paper should contain a minimum of FOUR pages of content. Try not to exceed the 4-page limit. Spend any extra time editing your work to produce four clear, concise, factually correct pages of text.
• Editing the complete paper is critical, so that it does not appear to be written by 4 or 5 different authors! Use the third person narrative throughout the paper, avoiding the use of the pronouns I, me, and my. Learn more about academic writing style here at the OWL at Purdue. (Links to an external site.)
• No Quotations may be used in this paper. Use your own words to explain the facts that you learn from your sources, AND cite your sources within the text. Refraining from use of quotations will help to demonstrate your knowledge of the topic, and will also help you to avoid plagiarism (which will result in a grade of zero on the assignment.)
• Reference sources must be cited in APA format, using both in-text citations within the paper and a reference list of all sources at the end of the paper. Every source listed in the reference list MUST be cited within the text of the paper. You should have at least one in-text citation in each paragraph.
• All completed projects must be in APA format, contain correct spelling and grammar, and correct sentence and paragraph format. APA formatting requires double-spaced text, use of a 12-point Times New Roman font, and a one-inch margin all around the text. Use a running header, and proper formatting for in-text citations and your reference list.
• In addition to the content pages, there should be a title page at the beginning of the paper containing the title of your paper, the team name, and the names of the students who participated in developing the paper, the course number and name, and the term and year.
• Suggested format for the paper: Begin with an introductory paragraph that announces the factors that you have chosen and explains why they matter to organizations. Then give each factor two paragraphs...one to define and explain how it matters in an organization, and one to share workplace examples. Then close with one or two paragraphs of conclusion/summary.

You must work together with other members of your group in gathering information, and each team member must contribute to the development of the paper. Each participating student in the team, whose name is listed on the cover sheet of the paper, will receive the same grade. If any team member is uncooperative, unresponsive, unwilling or UNABLE to participate for any reason, he/she may be removed from the team and assigned to write his/her own paper. The team leader will notify the team member, copying the instructor on the same email.
