Sources
A minimum of two are required for the discussion each week, and a minimum of three are required for the Complete assignments. Our book (the Read section) will count as the first scholarly source, so be sure to use it as the primary source for all posts.
Information from outside sources should be compared/contrasted with the information available in the book, indicating where this agreement or disagreement.
Outside sources should generally be from the Bethel library databases. You may also use reputable business publications such as Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, or news articles from the business section of major news networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN, BBC, etc.). In addition, websites in .gov, .edu, .mil, and some .org domains may be used if they provide sufficiently broad coverage that could be considered scholarly.
It is fine to use Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools such as ChatGPT, Scribe, Bard, Dall-E2, etc., but paraphrase and provide accurate citations. Do not quote AI directly, and limit its use, combined with direct quotes from other sources, to no more than 20% of the material posted. AI generated information does not count toward the minimum requirements for scholarly sources. The misuse of Generative AI will be reported to the university as academic dishonesty.
Word Count
Word count is based on the body of each post. Salutations (Hi John), retyping the questions, and references are not included in the word count. Write succinctly to express ideas clearly. Avoid filler.
