Q Current Event Article Review Current Event Article Review On select weeks you are asked to review a current event as described in a current publication - such as a news article, podcast, book, movie, interview, etc. - on a topic of your choice that relates to economics. Be sure that this is a current event or situation that is happening in the world. Do not use as your primary topic an entry or article that is defining terms (such as you might find in "investopedia" or at government websites that define the role of agencies). Be sure that your main source is reporting on or addressing a current, on-going situation. You may use additional sources to define terms, but be sure that your main topic is a current event. Your review should: • summarize a specific concept from this week's learning • analyze how the event and reference you choose helps to illuminate the concept • provide a link to the full source of the reference Submit at the "Article Review" link under "Assignment Submission" on the left side menu.
