Note: Many of the same guidelines and structural format from Essays 1 and 2 are repeated here. Since you have practice with both the MLA and the APA Style, this time you’ll choose which documentation style works best for your topic.
How will you determine which documentation style to choose? Be sure to consult the very first paragraph of Ch. 11 and the first paragraph of Ch. 12 to help you determine which style is more appropriate for your topic.

1. Incorporate at least 8 reputable sources into your general essay. Three (3) of these 8 will be audio/visual sources, and five will be sources that you quote, paraphrase, or summarize just like we’ve done in the previous two essays. Therefore, you will have 8 sources on your Works Cited or References page.

2. Use a variety of sources (at least 3 types). Choose from the following types of sources:

    Online databases (Ebsco, SIRS, Infotrac, Infobase, CQ Researcher)
    E-books
    Reputable Online Source such as Google Advanced or Google Scholar. You can check Pew Research too
    Recent books and pamphlets

You will be graded on your use of a variety of these types of sources. Using ONLY websites is NOT an option. Using ALL EBSCOhost is NOT an option, etc.

Make sure your sources support your specific points and do not simply touch on your broad topic in general. The research sources are used to enhance and strengthen your arguments and explanations.

THIS IS WHY IT IS SO VERY IMPORTANT TO WRITE A WELL-DEVELOPED ESSAY USING YOUR OWN WORDS, THOUGHTS, AND OBSERVATIONS BEFORE ADDING RESEARCH.

3. Use a combination of direct quoting and either summarizing or paraphrasing for text sources. Direct quoting should be reserved for statistics or a unique quote from an expert. 

NOTE: YOU ARE USING EITHER THE MLA OR THE  APA STYLE THIS TIME. BE SURE TO REVIEW ALL GUIDELINES LEARNED IN PREVIOUS MODULES.

4. Self-edit using the Self-Editing Guide.

5. After youve edited your own paper, fix as many mistakes as you can.

6. Ask me as many questions as

7. After I give you advice, submit your final copy to the Dropbox.

PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT AN ESSAY WITH LESS THAN FIVE WHOLE PAGES, OR BETTER YET, ON TO THE SIXTH PAGE.

IF YOU SUBMIT A PAPER THAT IS LESS THAN 5 WHOLE PAGES OF TEXT (NOT COUNTING VISUALS) OR USES FEWER THAN FIVE SOURCES, YOU WILL BE GIVEN HALF CREDIT AT THE MOST!! BE CAREFUL THIS TIME. The increase in length is due to the addition of visuals that might take up space in your essay.

IF YOU SUBMIT A PAPER THAT USES THE FIRST PERSON (ANY FORM OF I OR YOU) IN THE BODY OR ANY CONTRACTIONS IN THE BODY, YOU WILL GET A 10% DEDUCTION.

CASE STUDY: Workers at Amazon are Not Feeling Motivated
While Amazon has become the undisputed giant of the e-commerce world, its growth has come at the expense
of employee motivation. Poor working conditions in its fulfillment centers suggest an imminent employee
morale crisis. Amazon now faces difficult decisions about balancing the needs of its workers with its mandate
to deliver growth and profits to shareholders. This activity is important because it illustrates such tradeoffs,
which are common in both large and small companies.
The goal of this exercise is for you to consider options that Amazon might have to address employee
motivation and morale in a number of critical areas.
Read about Amazon’s working conditions and employee morale crisis. Then, using the three-step problemsolving approach, answer the questions that follow.
Across the globe at over 175 fulfillment centers, more than 125,000 workers frantically “pick, pack, and ship
millions of Amazon.com customer orders to the tune of millions of items per year.”1 Amazon’s innovations, like
free 2-day shipping for Prime members, dash buttons, and in-home delivery, have made the retail giant a
standout in customer service. The company has consistently received award-winning customer satisfaction
ratings.2 Amazon became the most valuable public company and second largest e-commerce company in the
world in 2019 by being hyper-focused on customer experiences.3
