Assessment
My teacher assessed these assignments on my first attempt. I was not attending college at the time, so the work was marked from my first submissions. I have not included later resubmissions.
Reflection
This assignment improved my ability to compare businesses from a customer's point of view. I learned to look beyond the product and consider service, choice, quality, expert support and convenience.
