From now to the end

We discussed all remaining assignments today. They are as follows:
1.) An I.S.U. Reflection paper - details will be forthcoming. They are now out there in the post above this one.  Worth 5-10% final mark. Let's talk.
2.) Your Final Exam - worth 25% final mark.
 3.) International Alliances - from last week - presentation in front of class. 6 - 10 slides. Covering: Map of member countries, Mandate/Purpose of this alliance, achievements (+ve), conflicts (-ve), conflicts of interest it poses. Likely the 2nd week of January.
4.) Israel and Palestine paper. 5 paragraphs (hamburger format). Suggested 2-3 pages. Topics: Source of the problem or fault of the conflict. Alternate topic: propose a solution to resolve the conflict. Include external source. You are able to reference the TED talks we watched or the article we read in class.  I will graciously allow this to be handed in the 2nd Monday back in January.
5.) 2 more blog posts in January
6.) Enemy of the State reflection questions (as they pertain to media, surveillance and the Patriot Act). I would like this handed in during the first week of January.  It wasn't anything major.
 7.) A brief quiz on the first Friday back in January on our Media and Information unit.
