If this is your first blog, two recommended platforms are Blogger.comLinks to an external site. and Wordpress.comLinks to an external site..Blogger.com is easy, user-friendly, and owned by Google, so if you already have a Google account, Blogger will be an easy site to sign up. It also has some advantages for businesses because Google combs your sites and make them easier for people to find using Google.WordPress.com is a little harder to use simply because it has a lot more options, yet this is precisely why it is used by many online businesses. WordPress allows you to make a whole website and not just a blog. There is also an open-source version that allows you to change any and all of the code behind the scenes. So it has many options and is considered more professional. Google combs these sites as well. They are just on different servers so it might take a bit longer.Final ReflectionYou submit the Final Reflection in Week 14.

Re: Week 8 - Discussion Forum by Kyle Carson - Saturday, 1 June 2024, 8:27 PM Hello everyone, With our final exams coming up, it may get stressful and, for many of us also nerve-racking, two strategies I will use are studying past chapters and readings and to achieve this I will use the second strategy which will be time management, making an organized schedule to study past chapters and readings for next weeks exam will be crucial. Reading on my past discussion forms and learning journals could also be beneficial, to see how I would explain the topic for that chapter. I used to have test-taking anxiety when I was in high school, I never knew how to study properly for my exams and would just rely on a few things I could remember and luck, so when exam week would roll around, I would be scared to take them. However, now that I've studied more and know more about how to take exams and how to study for them properly, I am not as scared to take these upcoming ones. I intend to use the note-taking strategy to study for the exams as well, I found them very helpful and made me captivate more information when reading or watching a video. All the best.

PreliminariesThere will be a set of several categories (e.g., financial economics, public economics, politicaleconomy, etc.) to which each of you will be randomly assigned by the end of the second week.The purpose of this INDIVIDUAL essay is to analyse a local or international piece of news withinyour assigned category. You have to use all the concepts and tools learned in the course tosuccessfully complete this task. The essay must contain the following sections:1. Summary of the chosen news in a bullet style.2. Background.3. Analysis3.1 Who or which parties are affected by the policy covered in the news?

Students must use the template provided to enter the information on the newsregarding the headline, source, publishing date, and the link (if available). It is yourresponsibility to make sure that your chosen article is not the same or too similar to the onesreserved in earlier threads. Any doubts should be directed to the course coordinator. Furtherinformation is available on the forum.RULES (MUST READ)Each student must reserve the news article according to the assigned category. See above fordetails.

Any figures andcontent taken from other sources must be cited appropriately. Failure to do so may potentiallylead to an academic integrity investigation. Please use the APA (American PsychologicalAssociation) style rules for references.The essay is limited to a 2,500-3,000 word count (excluding references, figures, and the newsattachment). Any analysis beyond the 3,000 words count will be disregarded.Check very carefully to ENSURE that the correct/updated file is uploaded through the Turn-it-inby the due date.
