The concept of this assignment is to bring together all you have learned in this class into an output that you can use after leaving this class. I have tried to assist you in this endeavor. I have provided you with 3 assignment time blocks to accomplish this (for a 3 hour class this would be anywhere from 9 to 20 hours of homework time after subtracting several hours to read the last set of chapters in the book.)
In addition to the added time you have to do this, assignments 10, 11 and 12 have been leading up to this assignment and you should be able to utilize elements of these previous assignments to complete this Mini Thesis.

The Primary Assignment:
From the topics we have covered during this class (and I am using "Topics" here to intentionally be ambiguous to allow you the greatest latitude in making your decision), select any 5. - Weave the 5 topics you select into a cohesive group. In other words, all 5 topics need to be for the same business and work with each other towards the goals of the business.
- You can use your content from assignments 10, 11 and 12 as part of your 5 topics, however, if you do, you should enhance them. For example, assignment 12 is the framework of a Business Plan - let's say one of your "Topics" is a Financial Projection. The Financial Projection is one of the 8 parts of the assignment 12 framework. For assignment 12 this can be completed in a page or 2 of outline, but if you were to use it in your final assignment you should actually use some planning (extra credit in assignment 11) to make this more than just a framework.
- This assignment is worth 3 assignment grades.
While your assignment will not be evaluated as stringently as it would if this were an English class, it is expected that you will make an effort to use capitalization, sentence structure and punctuation appropriately.
