(CLO’s 1, 6, and 8)

Expectations for this assignment:

General Guidelines:
1. Your paper should meet all APA (6th Ed.) writing standards.
2. The Change Matrix must be placed immediately following the Title Page.
3. Beginning in Wk. 2 – Instructor’s feedback, recommendations, and corrections must be addressed and detailed on the change matrix page.
4. Include a faith integration component – The faith integration component should be present throughout your business plan (e.g., not just a paragraph or mention of faith at the end of each section). In other words, how does your faith or world view influence your firm?

Feedback from last week:

“It doesn’t look like you updated the table of contents.

I placed a few notes directly on your paper – be sure to review and let me know if you have any questions.

Your final paper is due in two weeks – I encourage you to review all of my notes, feedback, suggestions, and recommendations (going back to Wk. 1) and make any needed changes. Additionally, I encourage you to begin reviewing the final rubric to ensure the contents of your paper meets the grading criteria (e.g., dimensions).”

I have attached the annotated PDF so you can review and make the necessary changes to the existing work.
