GROUP PROJECT 

        The class will be divided in three groups with five or six students as an ideal number of members. Each group will choose one of these topics: the Mercosur, the NAFTA or the European Union. The elaboration of this final project will be one of the main tasks in the course (see the grading section for more information about the actual percentage of the grade). Everything must be done with a maximum of professionality since these projects will be considered as a real life situation.

        The class will orally present the stages of their project during the semester according to a series of deadlines (see general schedule). The meetings with your group before any presentation must be done outside the class schedule. Some time of class will be devoted to the preparation of this project.

        The total time for each group for the final presentation will be 30 minutes (25 if we decide to have two groups presenting on the same day). The rest of the class will ask questions to the group. It is important that you don't exceed those 30 minutes or your presentation will be stopped and graded accordingly if it is necessary. The oral final presentation must be professionally done using graphics, suitable multimedia (e. g., PowerPoint or, very much recommended, a self-made webpage or Wiki) and so on. 

        A written version of this project is NOT required. Additional information, possible changes in these requirements and guidelines for this project will be discussed in class. 

      The use of a bilingual dictionary (and here you have some virtual ones from the web) and computer spell check is absolutely necessary for any typing or writing  activity for this class. The final presentation will be evaluated according to this form .

Please, bear in mind the final project for Span306 is a different one (click here to read about it).
