Milestones
During Week 5, write and submit your entrepreneur reflection
paper. In Week 5, you will finish writing your paper (see next section). For
APA format guidelines, please refer to the APA Tutorial in the Syllabus. Insure
that the body of your paper, excluding cover page and sources, exceeds the
minimum and that all of the assignment requirements have been met.
Best Practices
Cover Page: Include who you prepared the paper for, who
prepared it, and the date.
Table of Contents: List the main ideas and section of your
paper and the pages where they are located. The illustrations should be
included separately.
Introduction: Use a header on your paper. It will indicate
that you are introducing your paper.
The purpose of an introduction or opening is to
introduce the subject and why the subject is important;
preview the main ideas and the order in which they will be
covered; and
establish the tone of the document.
Include in the introduction a reason for the audience to
read the paper. Also, include an overview of what you are going to cover in
your paper and the importance of the material. (This should include or
introduce the questions you are asked to answer on each assignment.)
Body of Your Report: Use a header titled with the name of
your project (e.g., “The Development of Hotel X – A World Class Resort”). Then
proceed to break out the main ideas: state the main ideas, state major points
in each idea, and provide evidence. Break out each main idea you will use in
the body of your paper. Show some type of division such as separate sections
that are labeled, separate group of paragraphs, or headers. You would include
the information you found during your research and investigation.
Summary and Conclusion: Summarizing is similar to
paraphrasing, but summarizing presents the gist of the material in fewer words
than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major
support points from the body of your report; minor details are left out.
Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect the tourism industry.
Work Cited: Use the citation format as specified in the
Syllabus.
