Assignment
Description
The Discussion Board is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.
At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts, either the instructor's response to one of your posts, or posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Friday of each week. Two additional responses are required, each on different days, after Friday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often - at a minimum of three different days each week, as this promotes learning and is an important factor in grading for the Discussion Board assignment.
The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
This discussion has 3 parts:
Budgeting in any organization, whether it is for-profit, nonprofit, or even a governmental agency, is important for: income planning and monitoring; revenue versus expenses; resource management; and successful financial planning.
1. Provide an example as to why these reasons are so important for organizations to budget.
2. What are the types of budgets organizations can use? How are they different and why would a company choose one type over another?
3. How can you apply what you will learn in this class to your personal and professional life?
