** Please
be advised that our next class meeting will take place on Monday, May 28th at 2 pm
sharp.**
For
homework, please read the following article and answer the comprehension
questions that follow (for vocabulary words, don't look the words up; try to define them from the context instead, as you will have to on the exam):
1. What does "innocuous" mean?
2. What are "ramifications"?
3. How has assessing potential loan applicants changed in recent years?
4. What does "default" mean in a lending context?
5. Who in particular is at a disadvantage when this method of approving or denying loans is used?
In addition
to this, I encourage you to submit a 250-300 word analysis on any infographic
you find on the Web as we practiced in class. Use the examples on The
Economist’s Graphic Detail pages (https://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail ) to guide you and use this as an
opportunity to practice language used to describe dynamics in data and figures.
Submit your work to me electronically with the infographic you’ve used
(included in your document, no links, please).
