An important note about references:

1. Your references must be original, meaning, you can’t use the references in listed in the Northouse book or listed within a peer reviewed article. 
2. Use articles published during the last 10 years (2010- 2020). If you find an article older than 10 years that adds value to the history of the subject you can use it in addition to your other sources, not in replace of a more recent source. 
3. Your articles must be peer reviewed and be retrieved from Welder Library or Google Scholar. Make sure the articles you select have a qualitative or quantitative study (example: survey, focus group, etc.). You want to focus on using information from the findings and discussion sections to support your work.
