Listen to the podcast in ENTIRETY. Please write a one-page single spaced essay on it (bullet lists can be used when/if appropriate). Note the basic ideas and business, but more importantly, how the business functioned given your new knowledge from this course. Additionally, you may add your opinions on knowledge gained from this course in how the business should have handled some processes (e.g. if the business talks about raising funds without detail, you can elaborate on the debt and equity differences and considerations of them in context of your podcast). The outcome goal is to begin becoming a financial manager and begin to be able to articulate the topics of this course relative to a real world business. Lastly, and most importantly, write down general pieces of wisdom you should remember for your career/life, finance or other.
General rubric for project grading (may vary slightly to match project type). You are a business major, when working on any project, pretend that this is a job, I am the “boss” of the assignment and I expect to be satisfied with the work that you submit to me. Put yourself in my shoes, what would you expect from your employees?
1) Did you do what I asked in entirety?
2) Is the project clear and easy to understand?
3) Conceptually, do you understand what you are doing?
4) Layout: does it look nice, clean, easy to follow, and professional?
