The BUSI 443 Week 7 method, step by step

  1. Set up the data before the write-up

    Do the calculations first and check them. Interpretation built on a wrong figure loses more points than a missing paragraph.

  2. Show the method

    Say which method, formula or test you used and why it fits the question. Graders want to see that the choice was deliberate.

  3. Report the results plainly

    Report each result with its value and what it measures. Tables and figures help when they are labeled and referred to in the text.

  4. Interpret in the context of the question

    Explain what the results mean for the decision or question in BUSI 443, in plain terms. The interpretation is where the analysis points are earned.

  5. Name the limits

    Name the assumptions and limits. A result with its limits stated reads as professional.

  6. Submit the files the guide asks for

    Check which files Canvas expects (spreadsheet, output, written document) and that each is complete and labeled (6 to 8 pages).

Write task statements in a consistent form (action verb, object, purpose), rate their importance, then link each KSAO to the tasks that need it in a matrix. The formal job description at the end draws on both.
