Are there any new terms concepts that you learned by reading this article?
This assignment was designed to facilitate learning by following current developments in global
economy. You are expected to prepare a short one page commentary about a current development.
Your account of the event story should be complete and reflect your interpretation of the issue.
You are not allowed to cut and paste from the source. I expect you to develop your own narrative
and explanations after filtering through the information. If you fail to submit 3 reviews on time,
you will get “0” credit for the whole assignment.
More Specific Guidelines :
1. You should select an article that discusses major developments and issues in the global economy.
The article should be up to date (not older than two weeks at the time of writing), relevant to the
topics discussed in the class and comprehensive enough to help you understand the issue and
comment on it. You can easily find articles in Financial Times, The Economist and WSJ. Please use
analysis or opinion articles rather than short news reports without proper background. A copy of
the original article used should be attached with the summary.
