- Description
- This plan, which was used across BUS 103 sections in Spring 2020, introduces students to the basics of business research. After discussing source types, students learn about professional business sources and then practice in groups by comparing three major databases. The session concludes with a presentation from each group on the database they were assigned and strategies they generated.
