Hint: Does your written discussion demonstrate: 1) your comprehension of the assigned readings, 2) your own edited analysis of the key concepts/arguments from the readings with corrected spelling and grammar, and 3) a Reference section at the end of your posting listing your cited text pages and external business news/website/other research sources in APA reference format (Wikipedia is NOT a permitted reference!)

GRADING: 0 – 10 pts. each week's submission. Excellent and complete analytical writing uses clear references to the assigned readings without grammatical errors. Points are reduced for incomplete, vague, inaccurate, off-topic discussions and needed edits. Did you list your references at the end of your document – Author, Text/Article, pg. numbers used??
