This assignment has two parts. You must submit both parts of the assignment to receive full credit.

For the first part, you are to choose a company and create a two to four (2-4) minute dynamic video on your company’s Code of Conduct. You may use any type of recording device you have to create this video (i.e. smartphone, laptop, webcam, or other types of a video recorder). The specific points to cover for this video are listed below.

As an alternative to the video, you may submit a one to three (1-3) page memo that details what you would say in such a presentation following the same prompts as the video assignment below.

The specific points to cover are listed below.

Note: If you are using a tablet or smartphone you will need to email the video file to yourself, then save it to a computer in order to upload to Blackboard.
