This class will focus on evaluating options and making choices using logic and evidence. Students will then present their thinking and choices in English in a clear and fluent manner. This process will be done in groups, with much discussion and coooperation required. A strong emphasis will be placed on using English language in a precise and accurate way. The final presentation will be of a high standard, suitable for a professional business environment. During the early stages of the course the instructor will make clear the elements required for a successful presentation and will give time to practice. After the group projects start, the instructor will be constantly on hand to monitor progress and to offer further clarification or feedback if requested.

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

(1) decide on and justify the issues which they consider to be important in evaluating a particular type of product or service
(2) gather and organize data which is relevant to their evaluation
(3) make and justify a final choice from a variety of competing options
(4) present their decision-making process and choice to an audience in a clear, concise and compelling manner (a sales presentation in English)

Participation 70%*, Presentation 30%

(*students cannot receive participation points for classes which they do not attend. In order to obtain full participation for each class, students should make a sincere attempt at any tasks given.
  Repeated lateness without excuse will result in participation points deducted.)

During the course, students will be expected to prepare and give a final presentation. This will account for 30% of the final grade.

No specific homework will be given but if students fall behind the schedule during their final presentation preparation, they will be expected to work in their own time to catch up.
