BUSN201 Introduction to Construction Management Assignment 2: Final Paper (Week 7) The topic is Methods of Economic Evaluation. Clearly differentiate and discuss the following items: 1. NFV 2. NPV 3. BCR 4. IRR 5. AIRR 6. ROI 7. PPB Basic Assignment Instructions – Read carefully and follow step-by-step. Prepare a paper thoroughly discussing the topic. The paper must include your research, your thoughts and analysis, and a critical-thinking evaluation of the research. Please pay close attention to the instructions about AI in the following list. The assignment must be in proper APA format. If you set up Word’s features (headers, margins, alignment, indentations, page breaks, hanging indentations, etc.) to help you do this, it will be much easier. If you need help using Word, contact your Advisor or Classroom Support. Before submitting, use the following checklist to be sure you've included all parts of the paper. Double-space everything in all assignments. The paper must contain (You may want to use this outline to set up a template for future APA papers.) ~A title page, using APA 7th Edition Student formatting as outlined in our Library, https://www.apus.edu/apus-library/resources/writing/apa-style/ or at Purdue OWL. (Note: Student papers use page numbers in the upper-right corner, NOT Running Headers.) Bold the title. Use Word’s Page Break feature here for correct spacing in your paper. ~An Executive Summary- (On a separate page, placed between the title page and the main paper). The title for Executive Summaries is Executive Summary, bolded and centered. The first paragraph is indented. Business does not use Abstracts. An Executive Summary is a summary of the most important content in your report. They are written for upper management, so the manager can review your ideas and make a decision. It will review your thought process, your main points, and your conclusions from your analysis of the research. The way I write an Executive Summary is to go to each paragraph, make a note of the most important point, and then take those notes and write my summary from them. You are summarizing your analysis for the manager and stating your conclusions from your research and analysis. Do not just write a list of sentences that you have taken from your paper. For the papers in this class, an Executive Summary will be about three-quarters to a page and a half long. Use Word’s Page Break feature here for correct spacing in your paper. The body of the paper must contain- ~The title of the paper, centered and bolded above the introductory paragraph. ~An introductory paragraph (Do NOT label it Introduction; label it with the title of the paper, centered and bolded. See the sample student APA paper at the website Purdue OWL for an example). ~The discussion and analysis of your research, using APA headings and citations where needed (See Student Sample paper at Purdue OWL), No more than 20% of your paper should be taken from other authors. Please check the TurnItIn (TII) percentage after submission. If TII says you have more than 20%, look at your paper and see where you can add more of your ideas and analysis to bring the percentage down to no more than 20%. Then resubmit. You must demonstrate original thought in your paper along with research to either support or refute your ideas (Yes, it is okay to argue with the research) - a report consisting of a lot of quoted work with no original thought will not receive credit. Any material, ideas, thoughts, words, etc. taken from another author must be cited, whether you are quoting them or not. ~A conclusion, which briefly summarizes the paper and outlines your suggestions and findings. Label it Conclusion with an APA first-level heading. Use Word’s Page Break feature here for correct spacing. ~A reference page formatted in APA style- *** If you do not have citations AND references for your resources, you will not receive credit for the research. References must be formatted using the correct APA style. For electronic/online sources, use the APA electronic formatting style. All references use a hanging indent (Use Word's setting to format the hanging indent). Please see Purdue OWL or our Library for how to format references. A few “helps” for references. The title of the reference page is References. Bold and center it. The first title in a reference is always written in lowercase. Books, websites, magazines, journals, names of movies, etc. are. Electronic references have a specific style. See our Library or Purdue OWL. -A minimum of three references are required. These will support or refute your ideas in the paper. Two must be from the APUS Library. You may also use your text. Extra references may earn extra points. Wikipedia, Investopedia, Dictionaries, and other sites like this are not considered valid academic sources. You may use them, but they do not count as your three or more valid references. -Please note that mere copying and pasting from a website is not research. Do NOT feed your paper through any AI app, including Grammarly. It will rewrite it, and you will receive a zero. (FYI – AI plagiarizes and uses fake references.) To use Grammarly, use the Grammarly plug-in for Word, and it will underline your errors. You may also want to use Word's Proofing feature; however, all automated apps can make mistakes. All papers are electronically checked using specialized software to see if you wrote your work. Plagiarized and AI-produced material will not receive credit. A Few More Tips -EVERYTHING in an APA paper is double-spaced, including references. -This is not an instructional document, so do not use “you” in any form. If you are telling a personal story, you may use “I” or “We.” Personal connections to your experiences in papers are a good thing. Apply what you’re learning. -Numbers less than 10 are written in words. -Abstracts are not indented; Executive summaries are. -Do not use contractions in academic papers. Examples of contractions are don’t, didn’t, it’s, weren’t, aren’t, etc. -In the body of your paper, books, journals, magazines, newspapers, etc. are italicized. Names of articles are put in quotation marks. -When directly quoting another author’s work, your citation must include the last name of the author, the year, and the page or paragraph number from the reference
