IF YOU WRITE ABOUT A BOOK THAT IS LABELED AS FICTION, make sure you include the following content:
• An overview of the book’s premise – not a complete chapter by chapter rehash but, rather, an overview with some key examples to clarify the author’s approach.
• Some key connections to this course, again using specific examples from the book and specific reference to course material.  Your range of connections to the course will increase as time goes on, so my expectations will vary a little across the semester.
• How does the book premise, the character activities, or the general lessons apply to activity in TODAY’s business world?  Some of the fiction books are very directly business related, so that this portion involves updating ideas to current concerns.  Others are written with little to no direct business reference, so that this portion requires you to translate into business issues.
• So what?  You own personal comments/synthesis/conclusions based on all the above.
The individual written paper is worth a maximum of 50 points.  This written book coverage is to be prepared in New Times Roman 11 pt. font, with 1 inch margins on all sides.  I will require this paper to be uploaded through turnitin.com.  You will receive instructions on how to do so prior to the due date.
