The Writing Assignment is to be 750 1,250 words in length (this range includes everything in the assignment including your name, title, and citations). The Writing Assignment should be in an essay format using APA style. Additionally, you are required to support your position by using at least one recent reference from an academic journal or prominent business publication (e.g., The Wall Street Journal, Barrons, Fortune, Investors Business Daily, etc.). A recent reference is one that has a publication date that is less than one year old as of the beginning of the semester. Importantly, references from websites do not qualify unless those websites are part of a reputable print publication. For example, Investopedia.com can be used, but it does not count as a reference that satisfies the criteria of a recent reference.
