Week 4 Group Discussion Activity (5%)

The goal of this activity is to work together with your assigned group and conclude how you would react to or resolve the problem or question asked in your case study.

**If any students do not participate with their group fairly, please do not include their name at the top of your submission. Students who do not appropriately participate will receive a grade of 0.

For this discussion activity, please practice using APA citations, both in-text and at the end of your document; it is always helpful to use references, whether they are online or hardcopy. You must not plagiarise, which means you must use your own words and cite if you include the thoughts of someone else (websites, books, etc.). Marks will be deducted if you do not cite correctly. We must take referencing seriously! I encourage you to find scholarly resources; however, it is not mandatory at this time.

In terms of length, your response should be no longer than 1 page double spaced.

How to submit:
Please upload your document under Assignment --> Current Issues Discussion --> Week 4. You will be allowed up to 2 chances to upload in case of any errors.

Please have one student in the group submit ONE copy of your group's response. You can do so via My Group. All group members will actively participate will receive the same mark.

At the top of your submission, please include:
