Microeconomics students must present a real-world company or other entity to analyze from a Microeconomics perspective.

Grading Rubric: in three equal parts (too short Presentations will have reduced credit):

1. Presentation considerations (33%): Presentation look, knowledge of the topic, picture vs text balances (generally Power Point Presentations, Prezi, or similar software). Should include PICTURES, and not too much text. Use slides as an outline, supplemented with bullet points or notes.

2. Research (33%): A"Works Cited" pagemust be included, with not fewer than three (3) academic-level references, whether online or hardcopy, PLUS a reference to the specific relevant section of the Textbook -- for a total of(4) references-- Wikipedia is NOT acceptable as a reference, NOR ANY dictionary, NOR is a blog, nor general news sites such as Fox News, USA Today, Huffington Post, etc. You can use materials put online by the company, especially Annual Report or information for investors, but this is NOT intended to be a marketing piece for the company and should include negative as well as positive points. The Economist is fine, as are The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Business Week, and other reputable business-oriented publications."Works Cited" page MUST be included.Simply listing websites is NOT ACCEPTABLE -- they must be identified clearly, stating the writer if known, publication, date, etc, as with any normal reference.
