Each student is to do only one of these for the term;
Every day we hear and read about the economy on the radio, on television, in the newspaper, on the Web, and in magazines. This assignment is your opportunity to evaluate what one article or news story has to do with economics. You will present a short (about 500 words) briefing on a selected article or topic. The article needs to be recent–not older than 90 days. Do not use Wikipedia, About.com, or similar sites. You should be using online or print newspapers or magazines.
Provide a brief summary of the article. Then, tell which part of the article applies to economics and how. Each student will present an article. Read the example of a well-written “Extra” and follow it closely. The most common reason for losing points is to fail to give the article a correct citation. Send the assignment through the drop box to be graded. The instructor will post some of them to the DB, it is not necessary to comment unless you want to.
