Please read the articles above, for the articles under The Great Depression:
: 1-I need a really short summary of the articles, ones that just tell me what the article is talking about mainly. 2- I need you to find 3 terms related to the topic FROM the articles and define them. 3- I need you to write thoughtful provoking questions that are good for in class discussion. I don’t want questions that can be answered in one word as this is what happened with the previous author when I ordered this. I want debatable questions. Things that you have questioned when you were going through the readings. Things that you thought was confusing or interesting to ask about, you can relate it to real world examples for instance.
Expectations: Adaptive and Rational Tuesday: I need the same thing that you will do for the previous readings. Summaries (REALLY SHORT but sufficient) please. 3 Words and definitions. Questions, please write more than one so I can choose.
Thursday: Efficient Markets: Same thing.
So total would be 9 Definitions, 3 for each day. Shorts summaries for the articles (Super short). And the questions are actually the most important part.
PS: I always send these order back to revision because I don’t like the questions. Questions doesn’t have to be directly from the articles, it can be questions about the topic it self (The great depression) for example. We have a class discussion and each of us should say the question and then the discussion starts. So I need good thoughtful questions please. Thank you
