Country Report 3
Country reports build off each other. In each submission, you add information and make the assignment more complete. In some circumstances and following my feedback, you may remove information that was in your previous submission if it does not fit with the assignment.
Thus, your country report will become longer and more comprehensive with each submission. Each one of the three is still an independent assignment that is graded by its own merits.
Country reports should be:
Country report #1 2 single-spaced pages of actionable, relevant information with 1-2 visuals
✔ Country report #2 3-4 single-spaced pages of
actionable, relevant information with 2-3 visuals
✔ Country report #3 ~5 single-spaced pages of
actionable, relevant information with 4-5 visuals
✔
In addition to all the other information that you collect on the country and deem relevant, make sure that you include the following components:
Country report #1
Country report #2
Country report #3
