FINAL PAPER PROPOSAL WORKSHEET

The Goal of This Assignment
• The objective of the Final Paper Proposal is to begin thinking seriously about what you'll say in your final paper.
• THIS step will NOT look like a "traditional" paper.
• Here you will just start laying the foundations for what your paper will look like.
• After you turn this assignment in, I'll offer my comments. You'll use your proposal and my comments to write your FINAL PAPER OUTLINE in Week 5.
• I'll comment on that, too. After that, you'll use your draft and my comments to write your Final Paper DRAFT in Module 6.
• Finally, I'll comment on that and you'll use those comments to turn in your FINAL PAPER in Module 7

Step One:
Directions: Please read, VERY CAREFULLY, the final paper prompt you’ll be writing about.

Here’s the paper prompt:
The liberal arts include (but are not limited to) philosophy, literature, theater and history. Each of these disciplines, when studied rigorously, explore the nature of human behavior and decision making, logic and argument, cultural difference and sharpen the students ability to write and communicate. They have little to say about the current trends and strategies associated with business and industry. Should business students be required to study the liberal arts or should their time be spent studying current business trends and strategies exclusively?
