This week in ISM was relatively straightforward because there were not that many assignments due. For my second annotated bibliography, I diversified my knowledge within the field of finance by exploring the topics of venture capital and private equity. Writing this annotated bibliography went much smoother than last week. This is mostly because It was relatively easier to find insightful, credible sources about private equity and venture capital compared to my topic last week, corporate finance. From my annotated bibliography, I was able to better understand financial and even economic concepts that are involved in PE and VC, such as limited liability partnerships and the impact of inflation.
After peer-reviewing my classmates' resumes, I was able to take away some aspects of theirs that I could use to improve my own resume. I definitely need to work on the organization and format of my resume.
The past three assessments I have completed have allowed me to have a better understanding of where I want to direct my future work in this class. Now, I have to shift my focus to working on my topic proposal. This is somewhat overwhelming because I need to decide on a specific topic within the field of finance.
