Using the Internet, conduct an online search of the method you chose and identify at least two articles on the subject.

Write a one- or two-page memo to me identifying the method you prefer and why. Then identify five things you learned from the articles that you did not know before.

The headings for your memo should be:

• Performance Appraisal Method (identify your method, a brief description of it, and why you chose it.)
• Things I Learned (identify in 5 separate paragraphs; one paragraph for each of the five things you learned from your Internet search).

 Copy and Paste the website(s) URL(s) one blank line below the last paragraph of your memo.

 Use the required class memo format and writing guidelines under the intro module.
