Tell us about a recent deal you read about.

Confused first year college student here. How would you go about answering this question? What general topics/stats would you cover and how would you walk through it? Also, how would you argue a stance on the deal, meaning whether it was good or bad? Finally, what’s the best source to research recent deals?
Sample responses to this question appreciated.
