Overall Score/Comments: 95
Your business report followed the questions outlined in the overall project instructions; points were
deducted in the feel category due to lack of “excitement” detailed in the product descriptions.
The report is very nicely formatted-you went above and beyond and included hyperlinks back to the table
of contents; I love that! The images you included were not required but add a nice touch to the report in
general. Typically, images would not be included in a business report but because project is designed
around children, I enjoyed seeing the images. Great job overall!
