1. Describe the functions, roles, and skills of the manager.
2. Explain the importance of that manager to the organization he/she is working in.
3. Explain how this manager’s job relates to what you learned during the week.

Parameters

• Word document
• One to three pages long
• Font: Times New Roman or Arial, size 12
• Paper must follow APA format

Plagiarism

There are three common types of plagiarism you need to be aware of as a student:

• Recycling a paper; “double-dipping”; self-plagiarism: reusing a paper you have written for a previous course
• Copying directly from a source without proper quotations or paraphrasing: when you try to pass something off as your own work
• Not using proper citations

According to the Academic Integrity and Academic Dishonesty Handbook:

• Your paper should have at least 80 percent of your own original thought, not “borrowed, paraphrased [or] quoted” from material pulled from the Internet, articles, journals, books, etc. Your thoughts, not someone else’s!
