In this assignment , you have to present an economics related
article that you have read in some newspaper or magazine. Then you will comment
on this article, based on what you have learned in class.
If submitted, the score of this assignment will replace the lowest score
among your hw,or replace a hw that you have not
submitted. But the highest possible score for this hw would be 80 out of
100, so that only people who has the second lowest score less than 80 would
potentially gain from submitting this assignment.
Some example
articles have been posted below. Finding an article on your own would be
appreciated (might lead to a higher score), but you can also choose one article
from the ones I have posted.
Grading will be
based on your seriousness of effort of trying to relate the article to what you
have learned, and inferring whether conclusions of the article is acceptable or
not.
