Due dates:
· Each Person should review the instructions by the end of the day this is assigned.
· Each group should upload their chosen topic to the assignment that has been created in Moodle for this purpose by the following morning at noon Eastern.
· The final project is due at 25 Sep 5pm Eastern on the day that this is assigned in the Course Schedule
For this project, you will be divided up into groups. These groups will be assigned for you on Moodle.
This project will be turned in as a group. A portion of this assignment will be an individual grade and a portion will be a group grade.S
Step 1:
OUR TOPIC IS ECONOMIC EFFECT OF NATURAL DISASTER.
WE NEED 5 PEER REVIEWS AND EACH PEER REVIEW NEEDS ATLEAST 150 WORDS TOTAL WOULD WOULD (5X6= 30 PEER REVIWS) FOR ARTICLES ON ECONOMIC EFFECT OF NATURAL DISASTER.
PLEASE WRITE STEP BY STEP FOR EACH PEER REVIEW.
The group should be communicating during this process so that students are not using the same articles. Each student must have five unique articles.
The Process for completing this portion of the assignment
· First, locate articles related to the subject chosen. ONLY Academic, peer reviewed, articles that are in Economics OR a related field are eligible for credit!
· Each student, individually, should complete the list below for each article in order to begin compiling the information for the final group project.
· Cite the article using the APA style.
· Write a concise summary – in your own words, no copying – of no less than 150 words for each assigned article that complies with the following:
o the authority or background of the author, including why we should trust the source of the material,
· summarize the information presented
· Possible shortcomings or biases of the work
· Remember that these articles have been peer reviewed by others in the field.
Step 2: Compiling the group work (this includes Section 1 and Section 2 below)
After each student completes their individual portion, these will need to be sent to the leader so that they can be compiled.
See the required structure for the final document which is explained at the end of these instructions.
Step 3: Each group will discuss via zoom or some other method, their individual research. After that, the group (as a whole) should complete the portions of the assignment labeled Section 3 and Section 4 below .
TurnItIn:
This project will be turned in via the TurnItIn program. It is very important that you do not copy and paste your summary directly from the articles assigned as this will cause a high TurnItIn similarity. After receiving your TurnItIn feedback, you will have the ability to resubmit to update your assignment if your TurnItIn percentage is above 25% (excluding Reference Page information).
Do not use any apps that are designed to take the article written and turn those in to “unique” content (Article Spinner, etc.). This will result in a grade of zero. These often create unreadable content.
Final Step:
Group leader will upload a .docx file to the final report assignment in Moodle. This document should explain the following:
1. The quality of the work presented to them by the other group.
2. The names of any group members in either group who did not participate throughout the weekend and details regarding this.
3. Anything that they would change in this project.
