A Very Easy Death Book Report

/in /by

You will read and then submit a paper on each of the three books
assigned for this course. These papers must reflect what you learned about death and
dying from the books. Writing papers on the books for this class gives you an
opportunity to be unique and express your thoughts and ideas about the book, the
author/s, and what each of you have individually learned from reading them. The
papers give students freedom to explore the area of death and dying as covered by the
books, and gives them freedom to focus on areas they feel are important to them.
Please do not submit summaries of the books. Each paper should be at least five pages
long, typed double-spaced in Times New Roman at 12 points. The papers should be sent
to me as MS Word attachments via email within Blackboard.

this final paper actually consists of 2 prompts (I have attached a file with the instructions and prompts of the paper) that need to be 1000-1200 words each, so 8 pages in total. My professor wants us to use ONLY course readings and sources, so NO OUTSIDE SOURCES whatsoever. I have attached articles and links to books you will need access to. The books are important but you may not have access to them in the links I provided so you may need to find them elsewhere, and you can use as many articles as you like to help you answer the 2 prompts. NO bibliography/ work cited required, just in-text citations with author name and page. I go to a university that is VERY strict with plagiarism.

Examine Trait, Skills, Behavioral, Situational, and Path-goal approaches/theories of leadership

/in /by

This presentation should be 12 – 15 slides long in addition to a cover page and a reference page.  Use bullets on most slides but each page should include a note section with at least 150 words in addition to the slide.  Cite your work, limit quotes, and edit your work well for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Quotes should always be rare and properly cited. Slides or notes with excessive quotes will have deductions. Use your own words.

Prepare a presentation as if you were a leadership instructor.  You are to prepare it so you will be able to teach a lesson to a class.  Using the five approaches/theories of leadership we have discussed in the first three weeks of class, document what the approach or theory is based on, how it is different than the others, and when it is best used.  Consider the strengths and weaknesses of each one.  Give examples of when each theory would work best. 

For example, consider different positions like a construction plant manager or a school principal or a nurse. What approach would work best for different positions?  Incorporate that into your lesson.  Your goal is to have your audience (students) understand the five approaches and when to use them.

Do not copy definitions from the book.  Use your own words to get your students to understand the different aspects of the theories.  Use the 12 – 15 slides for the five approaches/theories, approximately two- three slides for each one. 

Format:

Please see the attached templates for helpful hints to a good presentation.

Title Slide – Include a title page with your name, student number, title of your paper, course number, course name, & date.

Introductory Slide – Include a short introduction of your agenda/topics.
