1.) The "Going Into Business Project" is an important component to these learning targets and plays a large part in your proficiency.


 * If you are not proficient in these targets because you scored a "1" or "2" or your project, you may revise your project to improve your grade.
 * If you did not complete the project and your score is a "0" on this assignment, then you must complete the alternative assignments for these targets.

2.) The Unit 4 AoL is the other contributing factor to these targets.
 * If you were not proficient on the AoL, you must complete the Error Analysis, Reflection Questions, and Test Corrections as part of remediation.
 * After you have received a proficient grade on the remediation, you may take a Re-Assessment based on the types of questions that you scored incorrectly on the original AoL.
