Assignment @ AUGUST 14th

The purpose of this assignment is to help you integrate the skills and concepts that we covered this quarter so that you can apply them in future SBA courses. Reflecting on the course material while it is still fresh in your mind is an important way to retain the knowledge that you have gained and celebrate the progress that you have made.

 Your reflection paper must include the following components:

1. A cheat sheet, matrix, or chart (format is up to you) that you will use for future reference in order to remember the go-to sources for different types of business information.

2. What has changed for you this quarter in your approach to business research?

3. What is an example of a future real-world situation where you can apply something that you have learned in this course?

Your paper should not exceed 5 pages, including your cheat sheet.
