Research Paper of the Past:
The only assigned research paper I didn't take to well was in my business class last fall. The assignment was to research a business related crime and provide potential solutions to either stop or help slow it down. I didn't take to it because I didn't know much about anything business related. Because I didn't understand how corporations worked I felt lost throughout the entire assignment and I felt as though the solution I provided wasn't adequate. I ended up getting the highest score out of the class on this paper for reasons I cannot fathom. If I had the chance to redo this paper I would have probably spent more time looking at how businesses fit together: the causes and effects of decisions, chain of command pros and cons, etc.
