The events typically last one hour and are informative sessions for students. The speakers provide a wide variety of information that is useful to students. Some speakers will provide career advice based on what they have experienced. Other speakers will discuss different student organizations on campus and at the FCB to help you find a way to connect with other students. Some events are more social or about providing community service. They are all designed to support you as you start your academic adventure. This assignment requires you to evaluate what you learned at the event. Many times we attend inspirational events and are excited about what we learned. However, that excitement fades over time as we forget about the key messages we came away with. You will write about what you learned from the speaker or event (take aways) and what action you will take now that you have learned something new. By putting your experience into words, you are more likely to remember the impact the speaker or event had on you and incorporate the information in to your future plans and endeavors. I. Assignment Write two (2), one – two page reports based on information learned from attending two Pathway events. Below are due dates for each report. Sunday, October 30, 2011, at 11:59 P.M. on BbLearn Sunday, November 27, 2011, at 11:59 P.M. on BbLearn II. Report Format 1. Length - at least one page and no more than two pages 2. Margins not to exceed 1 inch on all sides 3. Double spaced except header, which is single spaced. 4. Header information upper left corner - Name, class (MGT101), event name, event date and speaker names. This should be single spaced. 5. ALL submissions must be a Microsoft Word document or a PDF. No other file types can be opened. 6. Use Arial font, size 11. 7. Pages must be numbered as shown below: Page X of Y 8. Two sections a. Overview – a summary of the event, presenter name(s), organization sponsoring the event and the purpose of the event. This should be no more than ¼ of a page for a one-page paper and no more than ½ for a two-page paper. b. Take Aways – three (3) things you learned from the event and what action you will or will not take based on this information. You may learn something that will cause you to make a decision. For example, a speaker may talk about courses and activities associated with marketing. After attending the Pathway event, you may realize that you are not interested in pursuing a marketing degree (take away) and will not consider marketing as a career (action). If the Pathway event is a social event, meet three students, mentors or professors and ask them questions that you have about the event or the FCB. For career fairs, visit three company tables and describe the companies visited and what you learned about the companies or organizations. See me prior to the due date if you are having trouble with this section. III. Tips - Most Pathway events are held in Gardner Auditorium. Be sure to check the website for times and places or changes. Pathway Events Calendar - Staff will lock the doors a few minutes after the event begins. Be early! - All FCB students must attend six (6) Pathway Events to be accepted into the Professional Program or business major programs. Take your NAU ID and have it swiped to ensure you get credit for attending the event. IV. Pathways Report Revision Checklist  Format according to directions on assignment.  Ensure each learning point/take-away clearly and succinctly explains what you learned and how you will apply that learning in your academic and/or professional career.  Ensure the tone is professional.  Ask a friend to read for meaning and clarity; revise if appropriate.  Once you have completed your revision, read it silently to ensure your meaning is clear.  Set it aside overnight. The next day, do the following:  READ YOUR PAPER ALOUD. If you have trouble following a sentence, rewrite it.  Proofread using the ladder approach: read the last sentence from the first word to the period and each preceding sentence to the top of the paper.  Check for sentence structure: Most should be simple sentences. Break longer sentences into two.  Delete slang terms and clichés.  Delete redundant words and phrases.  Omit words that do not advance your message, such as “I think,” “there are,” “maybe,” “very,” “definitely,” “extremely,” “great,” “huge.”  Ensure that subjects and verbs agree in number: One of the mentors is an economics major. Several who are attending are freshmen.  Check punctuation: correct run-on sentences, sentence fragments, comma splices.  Ensure your use of person is consistent: Use first person (I, we) in your report. Do not use second person (you).  Minimize the use of passive voice.  Run spell check.  Check for properly spelled words that do not convey your meaning:  their/there/they're  affect, effect  your/you're  defiantly, definitely  advise, advice  freshman, freshmen
