Assignment: Briefing #1

You (and a team member, so you will be in groups of 2) will write a series of Country Briefings during the semester. You and your team member must select a country and get it approved by me. Please email to me your two countries of choice (you cannot choose Kuwait or South Korea) no later than noon (in Kuwait) Saturday 18 February.  Subject of email: Country selection.

Approval for your country
Once your country has been approved, then you can begin to research the country. For the first briefing, you will need to research the country's geographic location on a map, plus provide brief information about the country's history, political, legal and economic essentials. I have provided this example for you to follow.

Briefing #1 deadline
Deadline for Briefing #1 is no later than noon (in Kuwait) Saturday 25 February.  Subject of email: Briefing #1. Submit via email, of course.

Please know that while there will be two of you per group, only one of you has to send me the emails and attachments (the Briefings). Look at the example and you will see that it requires both of your names and GUST IDs so that I can assign grades appropriately.

Importance of deadlines
While I frequently use Saturday as a deadline, some students complain that Saturday is not a school day. Please note that the "deadline" is the last day/time (moment) that you can submit your assignment. If you'd like to submit your assignment earlier, i.e. on a school day, please do! You must submit your work before the deadline; waiting until the last minute does not demonstrate good judgment. However, having some extra time to look over your project (especially to correct English) may be a huge benefit to your grade! But as to when you submit your assignment -- it's up to you, so long as it's before my deadline.
