Everyone will complete a final business plan related to a fictional business. The plan
should consist of a high-quality report, covering all aspects of a business plan as
discussed in class, length as determined by the comprehensiveness of the plan, and a
cover page and reference page. Grading will be on such factors as applicability,
effectiveness and quality.

IMPORTANT
:
All assignments
(unless noted by instructor) are posted on the Moodle course shell,
accessible through the College’s website. Also, all assignments must be submitted electronically through
Moodle**. I designed the course shell to not accept any late assignments, so be sure to take the
necessary amount of time to appropriately complete and submit the assignment on time.
**If you are experiencing issues with Moodle, I have no issue with you emailing the assignment to me –
there will still be a time stamp on your submission, regardless of which method you use. It is your
responsibility to get the assignment to me; if worse comes to worse, print off your assignment and submit
in class.
ONLINE NATURE OF COURSE
To simulate class discussion, I will have you participate in the discussion forums. Protocol for these
discussion questions (DQs) is as follows:
• You will be required to post one initial discussion question of 125-175 words each week. This
will
be due by Thursday at 11:59 PM every week.
• You will be required to reply to at least two other students' responses per discussion question
with a substantial follow-up. This could be a question about what they wrote, expansion on their
thoughts, however you see fit. “Susie, I agree with what you wrote” is NOT sufficient.
• Please include at least one resource (cited in APA format) for each discussion question
response (See CITING section for further information).
