Q Country Analysis Project and Rubric: Part C Actions Narration of Country Analysis Project and Rubric Part C (Links to an external site.) With the countries you analyzed for Parts A and B, please answer the questions below and turn in to Canvas by Monday, Feb 21st by 23:59EST. PLEASE NOTE: The countries you choose for Part A will be the countries you refer to through Parts A, B, and C. If, for some reason, information is not available for your country at the websites cited by a particular question, please choose another country to answer that question, and NOTIFY ME and MAKE NOTE in the Project of the CHANGE. This Project is worth 70 points. I will run the submissions through an anti-plagiarism software. Failure to reference the websites or any other research will result in a grade reduction of 8 points in your project score. Please include the tables provided by the websites! Failure to do so will result in half the points being subtracted from your grade. Last but not least, please place your name as a header in the file. This makes it easier for me to grade and causes less confusion for you in the future. Failure to do this may result in points (-5) being subtracted from your grade. Economy (20 points) Using the two countries from Part A, go to globaledge.msu.edu (Links to an external site.) You may also go to cia.gov Factbook (Links to an external site.) pages to research your countries. Please make sure you include tables from your research for each country. 1. Describe the Economy. 1.
