• How do they know if it is effective?
• What recommendations does your team have?

3. Write a paper 3-5 page APA case analysis using the template provided in Doc Sharing (GB600 Template – Unit 5 Team Case). At least one peer reviewed journal article must be used to substantiate your analysis and recommendations.

• The case must be cited and referenced.
• Content (50%) = 25 points
• Analysis (30%) = 15 points

4. Designate one team member to submit the Unit 5 Team Assignment to the appropriate Dropbox by Tuesday, 11:59 p.m. ET. A copy of the final version should also be shared with the team via the team discussion are or the team Doc Sharing.

Team Peer Evaluation

• Each team member will submit a completed Peer Evaluation at the end of Unit 6 that will reflect quantitatively and qualitatively each team member’s contribution to the Team Assignments.
• As noted in the Syllabus, 25% of each team member’s Team Assignment grade is dependent upon their individual contribution. The Team Assignments total 200 points; 150 points will be determined by the quality of the Assignments submitted in Units 3-6; 50 points will be determined by the Peer Evaluation. If a team member earns less than the full points for the team portion, it will be deducted from the Unit 6 Team Assignment grade.
• Utilizing the form that you started in Unit 3, individually complete the Unit 5 portion of the Peer Evaluation that is due in Unit 6. Do not submit it at this time.
