SMART Goals and KPIs Assignment

1. Choose and carefully define a LOCAL business – no big national brands. You will continue to use this business as your “client” throughout this course so pick wisely 🙂 Also, don’t just tell me that they are a “bakery” – elaborate the kind of bakery, any specialties, any particular target market, etc. Give me as much information as possible as you define this brand.

2. Develop three (3) goals.

    One must be a communication goal
    One must be a business goal
    the third can be either (your choice).
    These goals must be SMART. Use the provided template from the module  (use three copies – one for each goal, you can put your KPIs at the bottom).
    Your KPIs must link directly back to your goal. 

Note, that your goal must, in one sentence, contain ALL the elements of SMART (do not write 5 sub-goals). If you want to see an example, refer to the powerpoint lecture for this module.

ISIS

Please read the following article by Graeme Wood. Please respond to the article in 2 pages or less  For those who need a basic platform, here is a guiding question:

Graeme Wood provides a detailed look at the ideology of ISIS and its relationship to Islam. Considering our classroom discussions and the texts we read together, what is your opinion regarding ISIS ideology (as described by Wood and as discussed in class) and its relationship to Islam? What have our readings and discussions taught you about Islam’s radical potential?

Those who have a different response to Wood’s article are welcome to respond in any way they like. The question is just for your convenience.

U.S Constitution

Read and carefully follow these instructions:

  Watch the entire C-SPAN Constitution video (0:18:00 minutes).
  Create a post for our class discussion and explain to your classmates and professor, in your view, which ONE of the three branches of the U.S. government is the most powerful and why?
Guidelines for your post and replies:

Use specific examples from this video (timestamp of the video required) to support your choice of governmental branch.
Of course, you are welcome to also rely on other resources from our Canvas site, textbook, homework quiz, or outside sources as well. When you do use sources other than the video, you will need to properly cite the source and if appropriate, use the skills you developed and discussed in our first week of class How to Evaluate News Sources.
Your post should be between 250 300 words.  Your replies should be a minimum of 3-4 well-constructed sentences that directly address your classmates’ posts and hopefully will include a question to encourage further discussion.
