...Log Section 1 - Two reflective entries Reflective entry 1: New Beginnings Deciding to attend university as a mature age student was a decision I did not take lightly. I am working towards furthering my education in order to gain the necessary qualifications that will help me in my future business endeavour. I have found that after so long out of the education system it has been a difficult transition juggling study and work. The first units that were chosen for me in study period 2, I thought were difficult to understand having never written an essay before and without the knowledge or know how, I was not able to complete these units. SSK12 has given me a good understanding of what it takes at becoming a university student and in particular the skills on writing essays. As I have mentioned previously up until study period 2, I had never written an essay and did not fully comprehend how important the set out of a university essay was. Choosing an Essay Question was an important part of my learning in week 6 because this has now given me the beginning step in writing a university essay using the correct format. I am feeling a lot more confident when approaching the subject of essays as I now understand and have the knowledge on the procedure in completing an academic essay and what is required. I now know that by firstly choosing a question will then help you to with your thesis and this in turn will give you your main idea and sets the way in which to write...

...Assignment Details and Rubric Unit 3 This week's Assignment consists of reading a scenario about Sandwich Blitz, Inc. and writing about what strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) that the business faces if Dalman and Lei commit to a large-scale expansion of their business. In this Assignment on creating a business SWOT analysis for Sandwich Blitz, you will engage in developing the following professional competencies: • Problem solving and critical thinking by analyzing qualitative data in decision making. Click on the Video icon in the course to sit in on an operational meeting Dalman and Lei are having about the company. Dalman and Lei have recently discussed the future of Sandwich Blitz. Lei has noted the emergence of two new franchise operations that offer food and beverages similar to that of Sandwich Blitz. Although these have not yet entered the market, she feels that this is only a matter of time. The company has the resources to open two additional locations if good places can be found. The recent economic downturn has adversely affected the occupancy rates in the larger office parks that have historically been good locations for their shops. They could always look at other cities but have never considered this. Dalman and Lei are wondering if they expand again, should it be a small expansion or should they try something on a larger scale. After reading the scenario above and the readings in the text for Unit 3 and completing the practice...

Your tutor has also embedded comments [in bold and in brackets] throughout your essay. Thank you for choosing Smarthinking's OWL; best wishes with revising your paper! Hi Denise! My name is Keren H., and I will be reviewing your submission today. Thank you for an interesting piece of research on Background Checks. In today’s review, we will revise sentence structure, word choice, and documentation. Strengths of the essay: Denise, “References” is the correct name for the heading of your page of sources. Good job! Sentence Structure: One or two of your sentences are “run-ons”. This means that two ideas “run on” into each other with no punctuation or links to separate them. Let’s see an example, and discuss how to correct the run-on: A background check is a must in today’s business world. You never know what you may find on the applicant. What two ideas do you see here? “A background check is a must in today’s business world” is one; the rest makes up another idea. The easiest way to separate two ideas (two main clauses) is to put each in a sentence of its own. What punctuation (such as a capital letter and period) will you add, so that you have TWO sentences instead of the run-on? Visit Run-ons and Comma Splices to find more ways to revise run-ons.

...Research Paper Template Gayle Pierce GpiercS3004 Travis Williams Date submitted: 9/20/2015 Accounting software/programs: How do you know which accounting software/program is a good fit for your business? Introduction In the world of accounting software/programs, there are more choices available than there were 10 years ago. Accounting has gone from a pen and paper system to accounting software/programs that are either in a server at the business, the information is on a server that is not in the business office, or more recently the information is stored in what is called the “cloud” The “cloud” has just come into play in the last few years In my paper, I will be discussing the history of accounting from the early beginning to the advances made today, a few of the different accounting software/programs, and some of the problems that include hidden costs, compatibility issues and the proper training of the accounting staff. History of Accounting The first accounting software/programs were written by the individuals who used them. One of the earliest programs written was by Bob Nadel, a CPA for an accounting firm located in New York.(Nadel,1959) As time went on businesses had heard about the new accounting software/programs that were known as “computerized” accounting systems. These new software/programs made accounting easier by allowing the accounting staff to be able to pull up reports so they could be analyzed immediately. These new ideas made the process easier...

This topic may seem old, but it could always come back later. Back in 2011 and 2012, there was a big fight between Congress and the Internet sites. This fight was over PIPA and SOPA which people associated it with censoring the Internet. However, it was much more than just censoring the Internet. It violated not one, but two amendments that are granted to every U.S. citizen. It also had the potential to hurt e-commence. As Wikipedia said on one of it’s blackout pages in 2012 “Imagine a world without free knowledge” and that is exactly what these sites were trying to protect. Yes, they may have won for now, but there is always a chance these acts could show up again. What is PIPA? PIPA is short for PROTECT IP Act or Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act. This bill was introduced to the Senate on May 12, 2011 (U.S. Senate, 2011). This act would “enhance enforcement against rogue websites operated and registered overseas” (U.S. Senate, 2011). Once the Attorney General gets a court...
