Goal: Read and analyze a self-selected article, and provide a summary and critique that demonstrates your understanding of financial management.

Format Requirements: The summary is to be clear and concise, and students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. The work is to be no shorter than 300 words, and the student will automatically lose points if these guidelines are not followed. Citations should be referenced according to APA style (the library has a copy of the APA Manual).

Content Requirements: Select a topic covered in the assigned chapters studied this week, and locate a relevant journal article printed within the last two years. The writing should include the following:

A summary of the main points of the article

The research findings of the article (if appropriate)

The strengths of the article (i.e., why is the article a good reference, what questions does it answer)

How the content is applicable to financial management
