You are to choose 2 stocks on the TSE, research the companies and do a short report about the company.

• How did the business get started?
• Who is their CEO/management team
• Why did you choose the stock?
• Start price upon starting the project, keep track of the stock price each day fro 2 weeks, include the end price

Track the stock for 2 weeks (if you have not done this just put in the year high and year low prices.) or longer and keep track of how the stock is doing. At the end of your tracking time, determine if you had invested $500 ( get as close to this as possible, remember it could cost you up to $20 to buy and sell the stock. How much you would have gained or lost over the two week period or longer if you are tracking for a longer period. 

• Final Course Evaluation:10 marks  Typed

  Final Evaluation: You are to type up a full page Evaluation/Review of Learning. (10 marks)

  PART 1: You should go through your notebook/ memory/ this blog and look over the content you learned this term in Marketing/Entrepreneurship. What new knowledge have you gained? What did you learn from working in groups, from the creative challenges and or from presentations. Try to connect some of the core competencies like communication skills, or critical and creative thinking, or personal responsibility.

  PART 2: Define 3-4 things you enjoyed/liked or got value out of in the course. Then define 3-4 things you think could be improved upon, or done better. Focus on how the learning takes place not on what we learned. If you were creating the course again what was good, what could be improved upon?
