Across The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for 99% of all businesses and between 50% and
60% of value added. SMEs are particularly vulnerable during the crisis (OECD, 2020). The
restrictions put in place to tackle the Covid-19 epidemic directly and indirectly affect local
businesses. Some businesses, such as restaurants and cafes, have been closed due to
confinement measures, while other small and medium sized businesses have been able to
continue but with considerably reduced demand. Some have had to lay off or even dismiss their
personnel. Unless local businesses are able to restart soon in large scale, the crisis will mean
reduced tax revenues for central and subnational governments in the short and medium terms.
To help avoid bankruptcies among local business, central and subnational governments have
supported SMEs and tried to ensure their liquidity during the worst of the COVID-19 crisis.

What is the difference between quantitative and qualitative research? Visit the Library and locate at least one research article that used quantitative research methods and another that used qualitative methods.

Pick one scene that impressed you most from the film. Explain how and why that particular scene is impressive to you. Refer to the assigned reading and think about how your argument is related to it. Include the image(s) from the scene in your journal. The expression of your paper needs to be clear (correct grammar; clear meanings of words). Your argument needs to have a structure (introduction, explanation, conclusion)
In addition, separately from your argument on a scene, write down the keyword from the lecture, which the instructor gives, in your response paper. Also, briefly explain the reason why that is the keyword of the sequence in one sentence.(The keyword is XXX because ….) The reason should be clear by thelecture. You do not need to repeat exactly what the instructor says. Use your own words to explain.

Your reaction to the reading, which could include what surprised you, what confused you, what you
disagreed with, what was left out.
Perhaps some comparative comments: comparing what you read to what you know about other
religions or this religious tradition in other places; perhaps comparison with things weve already read or

information about.

Please describe how you have prepared for your intended major, including your readiness to succeed in your upper-division courses once you enroll at the university.
Things to consider: How did your interest in your major develop? Do you have any experience related to your major outside the classroom such as volunteer work, internships, and employment, or participation in student organizations and activities? If you havent had experience in the field, consider including experience in the classroom. This may include working with faculty or doing research projects.
If youre applying to multiple campuses with a different major at each campus, think about approaching the topic from a broader perspective, or find a common thread among the majors youve chosen.
What have you done to make your school or your community a better place?
Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem-solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side.
Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?
These responses are very open-ended and I dont have strict guidelines for how I want you to
structure them. Basically, I want you to engage with the assigned readings (if we are reading
more than one text ie. several short stories or excerpts please just respond to one of them) in
some fashion. The idea behind this assignment is to start you thinking about the literature so
youll be ready for our discussions when we have our class meetings.
