Description
Final Assignment: Report on Websites
The final graded assignment out of class will be to explore several globalization websites. You should explore at least five websites from the following list. You should read at least one article or essay from each website and you must attach to the report the name of each article and the full web site address/link to the article. Your report should be some 8-10 pages approximately, double-spaced (4-5 single spaced). You should identify each website you visit and provide a brief description. You should as well discuss how the content of each website relates to the sub-themes of the course and what new or insightful things you learned from each website to round out your perspective and knowledge of globalization studies. As well, you should discuss specifically and, in more detail, at least one article or essay from each site.
Prompt: Follow instructions from course syllabus. Clearly identify which websites are discussed & do not take up too much space for summary/description of the websites. The final will primarily be graded on analysis and connection to course materials.
Format:
– To avoid point deductions, make sure to meet the 8-10 pages double spaced or 4-5 pages single spaced. Do not adjust page format in order to write less. This is very obvious. Keep to 1inch margins, 12 point font, Times New Roman.
– Do not taking up space on the first page for the heading, simply include your name and go straight into writing. Heading space is not included in page count.
– Include in-text citation of course materials used. Have a ‘Works Cited’ list at the end for these materials along with the websites (not included in page count)
