Please use Times New Roman, 12-point font with 1” margins on each side (double-spaced).I recommend the following format for the paper:Introduction, Headings for each question, Conclusion/Summary.In addition, please cite references.
You should answer the case study questions by clearly stating your position(s) and supporting your points of view. In addition, I encourage you to incorporate insights discussed throughout the course and provide additional information beyond what was discussed in class (e.g. include current events and external references).
