Question 6 & 7: Assessment Activity

I chose the topic of the US economy crisis.

For the physical aspect, i would try and meet with some of the economic/business professors on this campus and maybe even attempt to talk to some higher officials of the kalamazoo community like the treasurer, etc, etc. Digitally, i would try and visit a specific business - like site where i cuold have a live chat with major corporate officials or with someone who really knows his or her economic stuff. also, i would go to the The Economists' website, etc, etc. So obviously the internet, business magazines, the economy section of the newspaper, the daily local and national news, tv shows, etc, etc could help immensely on this topic.

As for the certain text that should be included for this particular topic, it really depends. Hence we're focusing on the crisis aspect of the economy, it would be a good idea to talk about Michigan's economy, the inreased percentage rate of job lay offs, the constant changeds of the stock range, the inflated gas prices. Most importantly, i think it is crutial to incorporate the text about how our economy has become in such a deep hole. from there, the author could possibly draw some conclusions.

QUESTION SEVEN:
On terms of sources, i would stay away from the common websites like yahoo, google, wkipedia, etc, etc. It would be wise to hit up the encyclopedia's that keep track of all the economic facts in all states particularly in michigan. Possibly even history books to go from one the first core definition of the US's economic stance to what it has become today. Plus, use all the other sources that i described in the first paragraph of question 6.
