General Questions

I want this section to be specifically designated to questions you may have concerning discussions, homework, tests, and anything else pertaining to the class.  Sometimes people forget a question they needed answered during class, so this will present a forum for further education outside the classroom.

Company Name Suggestions

Since we will be running a mock company, it will need a name.  I would like suggestions from all students.  Also, I need your input for the type of company you would like to run.  Please take the rules into consideration when making suggestions.  Lets keep it G rated.
