Individual Assignment 05: Reflect on a guest lecture

Provide a critical discussion of one of the guest speakers we have had in class prior to the due date of this Individual Assignment. The discussion should be formatted as a blog post.

The discussion should be formatted as four substantive, and well-written paragraphs including:

1. Paragraph 1: A brief introduction of the guest speaker, with a link to the speaker's webpage/LinkedIn page
2. Paragraph 2: An important concept/idea you learned from the guest lecture, and how this concept/idea is discussed in the textbook. Cite the specific textbook chapter that serves as the basis of this discussion in APA style.
3. Paragraph 3: An important concept/idea you learned from the guest lecture, and how this concept/idea is related to current business news or discussions. Cite the specific business news article in APA style. The article article must come from one of the approved sources below, and within the time frame of the current semester.
4. Paragraph 4: Conclusions and reflections on what you have learned personally or professionally from the lecture, the textbook, and the business news literature.

You must discuss the article and the connection thoroughly and intellectually. You should also cite your source in APA style properly.

For help with APA style citation, please visit the library guide here, or a Chatham librarian in the library for assistance. The lack of proper citation may result in academic integrity violation.

Submission
1. Please submit the URL link to each assignment that you posted on your Blog through the appropriate assignment submission link available in Moodle

The correct URL link will show your chosen blog site name (e.g., "lauren-c-ia-blog" below) followed by "blogspot.com"
