SLP Assignment
For the Module 3 SLP assignment, you will write a 2- to 3-page paper that contains the benefits offered by your current employer (no dollar amounts).
You will then compare your list with the content in a few of the readings or videos from the Background page. Determine which benefits, if any, should be added to your list. Last, create a new benefits plan that you would like to receive from your employer.
The conclusion of the paper should contain a rationale for why changes were made to your current benefits plan.
Your submission will include:
- Cover page (with all required components)
- A 2- to 3-page paper with APA citations. A 2- to 3-page paper means the professor is looking for at least two full pages.
- Use headings to keep the paper organized by topic.
- Use one of the fonts recommended in the latest edition of the APA manual (7th ed).
- The reference list contains at least one high-quality, peer-reviewed academic source (from the Trident Online Library or the Background page of Module 3) in correct APA format.
The use of direct quotes is strongly discouraged; however, if you do include any, limit the amount to not more than 10% of your paper. There is one academic purpose for the use of quotations from others: Putting their words into your own would change the meaning.
Since you are engaging in research, cite and reference the high-quality (peer-reviewed) sources in APA format. Other than a source for your organization, all other references must come from the Trident Online Library. See Trident’s Introduction to APA for for help with in-text citations. Another resource is the Purdue OWL website. All research should be cited in the body of the paper. In-text citations and corresponding references should be included in your paper.
