Kulturraumbezogene Wirtschaftsthemen, Work for Week Seven (May 4-8)

***Update: I have posted the information for your second Teilleistung to Ilias. All of the information/materials are featured in the "Second Teilleistung, Due May 28th at 5 pm" folder on Ilias. Please read the "Second Teilleistung Task Description" (the file at the bottom of the folder) first. ***

You will find a new folder ("Reading and Listening Comprehension Tasks for Week Seven (May 4-8)" on the Ilias page containing new listening and reading comprehension tasks for this week (the topic being law and contracts).

I have also posted two new sets of exercises (with their answers) under the file name "WEEK SEVEN Legal Words" and "WEEK SEVEN Contract Terminology" on Ilias.

This week's optional writing task (250-350 words) can be found in the listening comprehension task on Napster. This is due to me via e-mail by Thursday, May 7, 2020 at 5 pm. Please make sure that your essay stays within the word limit and is submitted on time.

Sample answers for the reading and listening comprehension tasks from last week can now be found in the Week Six folder on Ilias.

I have unfortunately been informed that I am not allowed to give you your grades for the Teilleistungen until you have taken your final exam. Nonetheless, you will receive an email from me by the end of this week (i.e. Friday, May 8th) with feedback on your first Teilleistung (i.e. the corona virus business analysis).

This Friday, May 8th, I will be posting the material for your second Teilleistung on Ilias. All of the material will be located in a single folder. As you know, the second Teilleistung is a presentation. A thorough description of the task and requirements will be included in the Ilias folder. You will be allowed to work with one partner (who can also be your partner from the first Teilleistung if you'd like). Your presentation materials will need to be submitted to me via email as a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation by May 28th. The actual presentations themselves will be carried out during our class times either via Zoom appointments or in our classroom, depending on how the situation for this semester develops.

On Tuesday, May 19, 2020 from 14:00-15:00 I will be hosting a Zoom meeting for our group. The areas to be discussed will be answering any questions regarding the second Teilleistung and strategies for responding to three areas on the final exam (which include reading comprehension, an essay, and vocabulary section). You can access the meeting using the following information:
Meeting ID: 848-0065-7845, Password: 9Zprdy
This meeting is optional and attendance will not be taken.

Due to the holiday, there will be no blog post on Monday, May 11th. My next post will be uploaded on May 18th.
