(1) SWOT- Supplemental Sources: Using Internet based research, find at least
one supplemental source, beyond the base case content, that enhances your

information that would improve the scope or depth of your analysis.
(2) relevant qualitative data (what evidence based on quality/character of

(3) relevant quantitative data (what evidence based on amount/number of

as are other textbooks in the library. Do not use questionable or unverified web references (e.g.
Wikipedia).)
