Week 3 Project
Course Project: Change for Motivation
The course project has major assignments that will be due in Weeks 3 and 5. It will take more than a week’s effort to adequately complete them. Plan time to start the research and other work for those assignments earlier than the week in which they are due.
Use the same organization that you selected in Week 1.
Scenario:
Management has reviewed your work from two weeks ago about how the employees’ low job motivation may affect the company internally and externally and determined that there is sufficient evidence to support an organizational change. It has asked you to recommend changes that will help to boost employee job motivation.
Recall that a survey showed job motivation among employees was lower than average, with complaints such as:
    My job is so boring!
    My boss micromanages me but never tells me how I’m doing.
    I’ve been in my position for seven to fifteen years, but I am never allowed to provide any input about making the work better.
Write a paper in which you:
    Defend at least two organizational changes and explain how these changes will improve job motivation in the workforce. Support your recommendations by citing the theories covered in the readings or your own research.
    Assess potential conflicts that may arise due to the changes, including why you anticipate these conflicts.
    Justify a change implementation plan for leading the change initiatives and helping the organization overcome any resistance to the changes.
    Justify an appropriate communication plan that announces the changes and continues through the change management process.

Submission Details:
    Name your file: SU_MBA5001_W3_ LastName_FirstInitial.doc

Carrie Chapman Catts Address to the Congress on Womans Suffrage. Argumentative essay literature

/in /by

Your first essay the critical evaluation essay is due at the end of week three. In this essay, you will be critically evaluating a classic argument.

Choose one argument from the historic American works listed in the Supplemental Readings section of the course lessons. Decide whether this argument is successful or not. If you decide this essay is successful, discuss why. You may use the structure of the argument, the tone, and the various types of support (ethos, pathos, and logos) as proof of the arguments success. Make sure that your thesis has an introduction that contains a hook and a thesis, body paragraphs that discuss one proof at a time (one paragraph per example), and a conclusion. If you decide that the essay is not successful, then discuss the fallacies that the argument makes. You are still required to have a strong introduction (hook and thesis), body paragraphs that discuss one fallacy at a time, and a conclusion. You may also discuss how the essay is successful with reservations. In this case, point to both the support and the fallacies you have found in the work.

You are not offering personal or historical commentary, or responding to the ideas in the argument; you are evaluating the argument itself, in rhetorical terms.

This paper should be at least 700 words, but no more than 850. The paper should be formatted correctly MLA style and written in third person (do not use the words I, me, us, we, or you).  The essay should also contain citations and a works cited list based on your selected essay in the assigned readings.  Formulate the structured response from your own close reading of the text.
