Team Projects You have to form a team of five to seven students for the team p projects. rojects. In order to prevent free-rider problems, I offer each group the possibility request the exclusion of a particular student from their from group by submitting a written petition alongto with suppo supportive rtive documentation. If I find after reviewing the case that the complaint is justified, I drop the particular student from the group. Dropped student will get zero point for all team-related projects. Market Watch Watch Any team who presents the summary of news ne ws in the class would get points per each presentation. The topic can be anything an ything if it is related to financial economics. Resources are p plentiful lentiful (e.g. Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, CNN, Morningstar, Economist, Businessweek, etc). Topics are on a firstcome-first-serve basis and no two groups will be allowed to present on the same topic. If you want to present, you need to email me to secure your topic. At least one day before the presentation, you need to send the TA your slides and the article itself or its source. The presentation is for 15 minutes at the beginning of class.
