The BUSI 603 Week 7 method, step by step
Pick one event and stay with it
Reflection writing works when it is specific. Pick one situation, one decision point, and stay with it for the whole paper.
Describe it briefly and accurately
Set the scene in a short paragraph: what happened, who was involved (without identifying details), and what your role was. Keep description to a fraction of the length.
Analyze it with course concepts
Use the concepts from Entrepreneurship to explain why it happened. This is the part graders weigh most: the reflection must show the course changed how you see the event.
Bring in the evidence the guide asks for
Meet the source rule (The interview video and the reflection devotional). Sources turn a personal account into professional analysis by showing how others have studied the same problem.
Say what you would do differently
Close the loop: what you learned, what you would change, and how it will shape your practice. Be concrete; a plan beats a promise.
Write in first person, formatted in APA
Use first person where you describe your own experience and keep the APA format for everything else. Check the length (Not set in the guide; answer the reflective questions).
Answer each reflective question, then name one or two principles you will build into your plan, such as how you will treat employees or handle debt.
A structure for BUSI 603 Week 7 Reflection Journal 3

Draw together all three interviews: what common principles emerge, and how will they shape the business you are planning?
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
All three entrepreneurs described their businesses as a calling and their employees as people entrusted to them. This one spoke about paying suppliers early even when cash was tight, as a matter of integrity. For my plan, I will set a policy of paying vendors within 15 days and build that into the cash flow forecast.
