Research
Review the Web sites provided for research for your course project. Select three of these Web sites and summarize the information you found on each that is relevant for the project. Note, it may take some exploration of the Web site to identify the relevant information. Write the summary in 2-3 paragraphs. Apply current APA standards for writing style to your work.
Country Choice
Based on your review of the Web sources and research, identify one country you would like to select for the course project. Also, specify two backup choices of countries to study. The countries that you choose should be interesting to you for either personal or professional reasons. Provide your primary and secondary choices in a short paragraph. Your facilitator will confirm either your first choice or one of your backup choices.
Write your choice of countries in a Microsoft Word document.
All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
