Your reflection paper must include the following components:
- A cheat sheet, matrix, or chart (format is up to you) that you will use for future reference in order to remember the go-to sources for different types of business information.
- What has changed for you this quarter in your approach to business research?
- What is an example of a future real-world situation where you can apply something that you have learned in this course?
