Assignment - Business Discussion
Discussion 1 - Reflect on the assigned readings for the week.
1) Identify what you thought was the one most important concept(s), method(s), and/or specific item that you felt was worthy of your understanding from the Key Terms on pages 274 and 277.
2) Discuss in detail what the term means, how it is used and other pertinent information about the selected term including a specific example, application or case study from your own experience. Be specific; not vague or general.
3) Provide a detailed discussion of why you thought this selection is important and how it relates overall to scheduling projects.
Respond to the post of at least two peers, using 100 words minimum each.
Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion.
Your initial post should be at least 450+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced). Post the actual body of your paper in the discussion thread then attach a Word version of the paper for APA review. Do not use lists or bullet points. This will result in substantial loss of points in the Substance section and the Requirements section.
Your posts must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. A peer response such as "I agree with her," or "I liked what he said about that" is not considered substantive and will not be counted for course credit. A blank post just to review other submissions will not be tolerated.
Discussion 2 - Describe free float and how you can use it to your advantage in scheduling and managing a project.
