Critical and Unique Terms May 7, 2010
Posted by thinkphd in : RSH9104B , trackbackAssignment 3 of RSH9104B is to define terms that are critical and unique to my dissertation topic. The information in the syllabus includes an example of a definition of “combat verteran” in a hypothetical concept paper (CP) of “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in Iraq War Combat Veterans”:
Example: Combat Veteran. A combat veteran is defined as a person who experienced “any level of hostility resulting from offensive, defensive or friendly fire military action involving a real or perceived enemy in any pre- or post-designated theater of combat (war) operations” (American War Library, 1988, p. 3).
The CP template shows the section “Definition of Key Terms” before “Brief Review of Literature.” Here is the format, which is APA third-level heading (indented, boldface, lowercase paragraph heading ending with a period):
Term 1. Definition (APA citation).
So far, I have a list of 16 words to define as “critical and unique terms”:
corporate social responsibility (CSR)
corporate sustainability
diversity
environment
human rights
philanthropy/community
purchasing social responsibility (PSR)
safety
stakeholder theory
supply chain management
supply management
sustainability
sustainable development
sustainable procurement
sustainable supply chain management (SSCM)
sustainable supply management
This assignment is due no later than the end of week 2 and should be up to 4 pages. I am working on this assignment today and should finish it.
I’ve been struggling with motivation this week as I have waited since last Sunday to get assignment 2 back, which is the topic paper revision. That paper is the first time my chair gets to see my topic. I am so nervous to find out if he thinks it is a good topic and do-able. If he comes back to me and says the topic stinks, that means that I would have to modify it. Mentors are allowed 5 days to grade the assignments and today is Day 5. I really want to stay on schedule in this class and so if I get it back today that will help my motivation! If he had turned it back to me earlier in the week, I am sure that I would have already completed this critical and unique terms assignment.
