This information is tentative and may change during the semester.
You can anticipate completing and delivering a Briefing every week between now and the end of April (except, of course, during Spring Break). There are 8 Briefings (but there could be more). Watch the blog for topics, deadlines and examples. The assignment will be posted on the blog approximately one week prior to the deadlines. You will be required to email the Briefing to me, and then bring a hard copy to class -- bring copies for your classmates, too.
Creating Your Briefings
Always use 12 point Times New Roman to create your briefings. I encourage you to include charts or graphs, when possible and space allows. You must consult at least three sources for each Briefing. Write concisely and, of course, Basic English counts. I accept assignments only in Word and only in Western formatting (reading left to right). Follow this format for naming files: Briefing(#)_YourFirstName_Spring2012.doc. Substitute the the Briefing numeral for #.
All of you (except one) are working in teams, and you are expected to work together to complete these Briefings. It's up to you how you divide the work. Check each other's work, however, to improve your chances of saving points.
Deadlines are written in stone. If you miss a deadline you do not earn any points for that Briefing.
Briefing Topics
Briefings will cover the following topics as related to your targeted country: History, Economics, Political Environment, Education, Technology, Infrastructure, Communications, Transportation, Culture, Business Relationships & Behavior, Product Suppliers & Distribution, etc.
On the due date, come to class prepared to discuss your briefing. Time may not permit every team to discuss their briefing each week.
Final Assessment
Keep your briefings in a Country Notebook . . . at semester's end, you will deliver the notebook to me as part of your final assessment. You will use the content of your Briefings to develop your final assessment presentation, which you will deliver in class. Details about the final assessment will appear on the blog later in the semester.
