RESM 4190 Project Assignment #2 (40 points)
Note: All the information you are collecting in the project assignments will be used to complete
the final project. Therefore, the better job you do now, the less work you will have to do for the
final project. Also, keep copies of all this information as you will be using it again.
You must cite all information obtained from places other than your own personal experience and
knowledge using APA format. The assignment should be in your own words. It is acceptable to
use information from the Internet and other sources if they are properly cited. However, you
cannot just cut-and-paste a bunch of content you find on the Internet and/or other sources. This
is plagiarism and you will not get credit for this.
CAUTION: A detailed sentence means it explains something and has the proper sentence
structure. For example, According to Toyotas 2019 Form 10-K, the company had a gross
revenue of $8.94 billion. Conversely, the sentence, Gross revenues = $8.94 billion. is not a
detailed sentence and it will not count toward your minimum number of sentences.
