In the last week of class, we are going to complete a reflection activity.

This discussion topic is to be reflective and will be using your own words and not a compilation of direct citations from other papers or sources. You can use citations in your posts, but this discussion exercise should be about what you have learned through your viewpoint and not a re-hash of any particular article, topic, or the book.

Items to include in the initial thread:

• “Interesting Assignments” – What were some of the more interesting assignments to you?
• “Interesting Readings” – What reading or readings did you find the most interesting and why? “Interesting Readings”
• “Perspective” – How has this course changed your perspective?
• “Course Feedback” – What topics or activities would you add to the course, or should we focus on some areas more than others?

Hi All,

Please choose one of the following questions and react to it briefly in the discussion boards.

When you submit answer, please begin by pasting the question you are responding to in the text field. Then write your answer below.

Discussion question options:

• In recent years people have proposed term limits for Congressional representatives— limiting Senators to two 6 year terms and members of the House of Representatives to 4 2 year terms. Do you think this is a good idea? Why or why not?
• The 17th Amendment was ratified in 1913, making the Senate directly elected by the people of each state. Consider how this changed the incentives of Senators — do you think this change had positive or negative implications for the Senate? Why?
• The filibuster makes it (usually) necessary to obtain a 60-vote supermajority to get legislation passed in the Senate. Should the filibuster be done away with? If so, why? If you argue we should keep it, why?

The results in Table 1 are key amounts from the SEC 10-K of (your company’s name).

b.Balance Sheet Results. Using the results from the Balance Sheet items, comment on your company’s results. You should discuss and compare at least three of the items from your balance sheet results. Before presenting your analysis, define the terms you are discussing and cite a source like your textbook, to demonstrate that you know the meaning of the terms you are discussing. For instance, if you discuss current liabilities, you should explain what that term means. You can also discuss other balance sheet items like non-current assets or long-term liabilities if you want to, but you should also define any additional terms.

c.Income Statement Results. Using the results from the Income Statement items, comment on your company’s results. As mentioned above, define the terms you discuss, cite a source, and discuss at least three of the items.
