Business Entity Type: Starting a Business

BUSINESS PROJECT

100 POINTS

This Business Project must be your own work. Except as set forth below, you may rely on course material only. You may consult the Internet to complete Part II and only for the specific website designated in Part II. You may also consult the Internet, if necessary, to complete Part III. DO NOT CUT AND PASTE OR QUOTE FROM ANY SOURCE. You must paraphrase in your own words (more than seven consecutive words). Collaboration is NOT permitted. Use completed sentences and do not use bullet points or outline format but do use Roman Numeral/capitalized letter for each section or sub-section. Inserting the relevant Roman Numeral/capitalized letter for each section/sub-section is worth 1.0 points. If you took this class before, resubmitting any part of your previous project is self-plagiarism and a violation of the Honor Code.

Your Business Project must be double-spaced in Times New Roman 12-point font. Include your name, date, the name of your business and business entity type in the upper left corner. Your course and section # are already inserted. Inserting the relevant information above is worth .4 points. Use the Bus 103 and 303 Mechanics of Writing Guide for guidance in writing. In addition, do not start a sentence with a number (e.g.1, 15, 30) but spell the number out and do not use contractions in your project (e.g. use cannot instead of can’t).

Follow the Format attached. Your Project must be no more than 1000 words, but should be approximately 700 words (approximately 2-3.5 pages). A stapled hard-copy of your Project is due in-person on May 8 at 7:20 PM. Also, a Word version of your Project MUST be submitted to Safe Assign on Blackboard by 7:20 PM on May 8. Submit your Word document to SafeAssign through the link in the “Business Project” tab on Blackboard. Please review the Business Project Grading Rubric attached before completing.

Failure to submit a stapled hard-copy in person on time will result in a deduction. No hard copies will be accepted in person after 8:00 PM on May 8, 2019, at which point the Professor will grade the Project submitted to SafeAssign with a 10-point deduction. Failure to submit the Project to SafeAssign on time will also result in a 10-point deduction. However, SafeAssign will close at 10:00 PM on May 8, 2019, after which no Project will be accepted. If no Project is submitted to SafeAssign by 10:00 PM, then the student earns a grade of 0. Projects submitted by students will NOT be accepted by e-mail.

Extra Credit: If you submit your Project to SafeAssign by 7:20 PM on Wednesday, May 1 and hand in your stapled hard copy during class on May 1, 2019, you will earn 7 extra points on the project.
