1. APA-STYLE IN-TEXT CITATION

/in /by

Thus far, you have been asked to provide a link for any source used in your written assignments as a way of attributing credit to the source.  Going forward, you will need to attribute credit to your sources by including in-text citations and references in accordance with APA-style. This assignment will be good practice for building these valuable skills! This assignment consists of two parts – a Part A and a Part B.

PART A: APA-STYLE IN-TEXT CITATION PLACEMENT 

To prepare for this portion of the assignment, read pages 269-270 from the 7th edition of the APA Manual, which are located under Readings and Resources. These two pages contain information about the placement of APA-style in-text citations, particularly in summarized or paraphrased work.  Based on this reading, you will review three versions of the same paragraph and select which paragraph contains the correct placement of APA-style in-text citations.

PART B: APA-STYLE REFERENCING

Instructions: For every source you cite within an assignment, you must include an accompanying reference for it at the end of your assignment. For this activity, you will review how to write an APA-style reference for three different types of sources – a textbook, a peer-reviewed journal article, and a website. Then, you will be given references for actual sources and you will need to determine which references are written in APA-style. Finally, you will have the opportunity to write APA-style references for a textbook, a peer-reviewed journal article, and a website yourself.

Business management liability scenario

Business management liability scenario

The following is a Business management liability scenario. Widget’s, Inc., a fictional company, has a flourishing lawncare business. The business has two full-time employees who have been with the company for five years. All employees are trained on using the lawn equipment and have signed a waiver-of-liability contract limiting liability for the company. The owner, Brian, told his employees not to worry—that the company would protect them if they got hurt.

One employee, Lori, was on the job cutting a lawn. Lori was riding a mower, a Ferrari 2000, which was three years old and in good working condition. The step-up on the mower had writing on it with a warning sticker that read, “Replace the sandpaper liner for traction every three years due to normal wear and tear.”  It was replaced every three years. Lori stepped down off the rider, slipped because of moisture from the grass, and severed her pinky toe on the mower blade.

When she fell to the ground, the mower continued through the grass and proceeded by itself to cut and mulch a neighbor’s prize roses. Peta, the neighbor, was preparing for a rose competition with a potential grand prize of $10,000.

Business management liability scenario

Write a 2-3 page paper answering the questions below. Remember to identify and explain the law and then justify your answers to the questions pursuant to the scenario:

  1. Pursuant to contract law, is the waiver of liability legal and do Brian’s verbal assurances become part of the contract? Why or why not?
  2. Does Peta have a product liability case against the mower manufacturer Ferrari for a design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure-to-warn defect?
  3. Does Lori have a claim for her injuries and can she recover pain and suffering damages or worker’s compensation?

Assignment 3

The New Safety Program 

At first glance, a dot-com company is one of the last places you’d expect to find potential safety and health hazards—or so the owners of LearnInMotion.com thought. There’s no danger of moving machinery, no high-pressure lines, no cutting or heavy lifting, and certainly no forklift trucks. However, there are safety and health problems.

A word document containing your responses to the four (3) questions occurring at the end of the case study.

  1. How should the firm go about identifying hazardous conditions that should be rectified? Use checklists such as those in Figures 16-6 and 16-8 to list at least 10 possible dry cleaning store hazardous conditions.
  2. Would it be advisable for the firm to set up a procedure for screening out accident-prone individuals? How should they do so?
  3. How would you suggest the Carters get all employees to behave more safely at work? Also, how would you advise them to get those who should be wearing goggles to do so?
