Economics Workshops. Semester 6

Group Questions

Each Research Group will prepare and present a question on one of the topics below. The group should send me (david.rees@essca.eu) the PowerPoint in pdf format the day/evening before the presentation.
The presentation is designed to introduce the question, providing basic data and the problem.
The final slide should be the question that the groups will discuss.
The group should not provide an answer or solution until all the other groups have given their opinion.

After the presentation (5-10 minutes), the group members will join other groups and act as mentors.

Each non-presenting group will propose a new spokesperson each week.
The spokesperson will take notes of their group's comments, and give feedback to the rest of the class.
