Identify
a healthcare program manager or coordinator that you would like to
interview for this course. It is critical that you interview someone who can
serve as a case study for your session long project for module 1-3 of this
course. You should plan on a detailed interview of the person
selected. You should plan on 1.5-2 hour interview with your case
study. I will provide you with general guidelines for each module and you can
add specific questions that are of interest to you. I recommend that you interview
the individual after you are familiar with and comfortable with the entire
course content as you will use the information gathered from the interview for
SLPs for modules 2 thru 5.

Precision (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor)
- Each question and or assignment
requirement is addressed in the paper

concepts presented in the background material into the overall analyses,
key points and supporting discussions

Writing Mechanics

Additional considerations
to keep in mind while working on your case assignments:
Originality and Use of
directly quoted material
- The purpose of each assignment is
for you to present your understanding and synthesis of the background
material and key concepts. Accordingly, this must be accomplished
substantially in your own words.
- Use directly quoted material
sparingly and only when preserving the exact words of an author is
necessary. For purposes of this course, rarely should directly quoted
material represent more than 5-10 percent of your entire case paper’s
content. Composing a paper patched together from mostly quoted material is
not acceptable.
- Be sure to properly reference all
directly quoted material and include the in-text citations. All
paraphrased information also requires reference citations at the end of
the paraphrased section.
Grades
- A paper that answers all assignments
questions and supports the same with good key points, well supported
discussions and quality references will earn a solid “B” grade.
- Please remember that “A” papers
are exceptional works that go beyond just answering the questions and
provide insightful answers.
Please be sure to provide
at least 3 citations of sources consulted in preparing your paper in the body
of the actual document itself (i.e., in addition to furnishing a reference
list). Remember, any statement that you make that is not common knowledge or
that originates from your synthesis or interpretation of materials you have
read must have a citation associated with it. For guidelines on in-text
citations, visit the following web site: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_apa.html
