If you are a Communication major this paper can be counted as your Fulbright Senior Writing Requirement (FWR) if you meet the following conditions: your paper must be (1) 10+ pages in length, not counting title and reference pages, (2) use at least six academic/peer-reviewed sources from outside of the course readings, and (3) receive at least a grade of C. Please note that you do not need to tell me you wish to use this as a FWR; I submit all students names whose papers meet the requirement. If your paper does not meet the requirement I will inform you via email after I have had time to grade all of the papers. You must submit your paper through Blackboard no later than 11:59 pm on Friday of Week 15 (I do provide a week extension without penalty). You must submit your paper as a Word (.doc or .docx) or Adobe (.pdf) file. No .pages, please.
This paper is your 10+ page analysis (not counting title page and reference list) of a popular press book about leadership. You should make your book choice by Friday of Week 3, 11:59 pm to stay on track. I have provided a list of pre-approved books (see Appendix B and on Blackboard under Assignments). If you choose a book not on this list, just let me know it is not on the list and I will review the table of contents and read/peruse a few chapters; I will then let you know if the book will work for this assignment. In either case (choosing from the list or finding your own), you should choose your book carefully. You should be interested in the topic and the book you select must have enough substance to allow you to write the review. Failure to complete this portion of the assignment automatically reduces your overall paper grade by 50 points. This means that the highest grade you can receive on the paper will be 200 points or 80% (B).
