Assignment:
After doing some preliminary research on your project topic, you may meet with me virtually during the class break, after class, or by appointment to discuss your project. Please display a copy of your project draft, including a table of contents, at the meeting, and use captions in your draft corresponding to captions in your table of contents.
Final Project Reports are to be submitted on Canvas and are due the week of 11/2/20.
Your report should be a minimum of 12 pages in length, double-spaced, using 12-point font, Chicago-style footnote reference citations, a cover page, a table of contents page, an introduction, and a conclusion. Your report should contain an appropriate caption and separate paragraphs for each issue discussed, corresponding to your table of contents. Your cover page should have your topic title enlarged and your name, course, and date of submission. Your conclusion should include a summary of the issues raised in your report, your evaluation of whether current solutions are effective, and your recommendations regarding new possible solutions.
Project Presentations will be scheduled beginning the week of 11/9/20.
Each of the listed topics involves a specific matter of current interest to the domestic and international business community. In your project report conclusion, you should include:
- A summary of the highlights of your report
- What solutions you recommend for the problems identified in your report
- What you learned from the project
- What your expectations are with respect to the future regarding the issues raised in your report
Due to time constraints, project presentations should last no more than 10 minutes each. Your presentation should include, to the extent possible, the use of video slides and equipment available via zoom to enhance your presentation. Students who prefer to present early should send me an email ASAP confirming their preference. Each student should familiarize himself with the operating system for using zoom prior to the time of presentation to minimize delays.
NOTE: You are expected to be ready to present on the date assigned.
