About Learning Lab Assignments:

As part of their workload for this course, students will be allocated 2-3 writing assignments which will be included in their final grade for the course. Each assignment will vary in length as stipulated by the instructor. Typically, they range from 500 – 1,000 words in length.

While completing their assignments, students are required to consult with VPC’s Learning Lab Instructors who will assist them in drafting their papers. It is expected that students will spend at least 10 hours working on these assignments in the Learning Resource Center. Tutoring times may be scheduled online in advance with the various Learning Resource Center instructors. Learning Lab Instructors will provide assistance to groups of 5-10 students per tutoring session and are available to provide assistance by providing feedback with respect to planning and organizing written assignments, researching topics, grammar, composition, style and APA citation. While students must select the topic of their assigned paper, all topics must be approved by the instructor prior to beginning the assignment’s various planning, organizing and researching related activities.

Example:

Since November 2019, Corona Virus (Covid-19) has spread over 188 countries by June 2020. It has affected all business activities and social life as well. Describe and explain the implications of Covid-19 on publicly traded stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
