=This page is for me to record and compile useful tools and ideas for teaching entrepreneurship. And to make this wiki more useful. Which is good.=

Plagiarism Software

 * Paper Rater (@http://www.paperrater.com) I will check your business plan against all other papers for plagiarism. Not because I'm a bad guy, but because I want your thinking and business logic to be original.

Some notes on business plan presentations

 * Each team gets 10 minutes and 5 PPT slides. Points are deducted from the team presentation score for every minute over 10 minutes the presentation lasts. The instructor will keep track of time, but will not be responsible for the length of student presentations.
 * Each team must use a common template for presentations to ensure that the same topics are covered in each presentation.
 * Presenters who turn their back to the audience to read from their slides have points deducted from their team's score.
 * Similarly, presenters who read verbatim from the text on their slides incur penalties for their team's score. 10 points from Slitherin!
 * Presentations should always open with a **BIG PAIN** or **UNMET NEED** that produces an emotional response from the audience and forces them to pay attention to what's said next. Except in unusual circumstances, if you open your presentation by simply telling your audience what your business does and what your mission statement is (WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE BIG PAIN), you might as well offer me a pillow and blankie.
