__** Final Project Outline **__


 * Group project on a topic related to Japanese business culture and manners.


 * Assessment on:

1) 1-2 pages write up (in Japanese) 2) Final group presentation (about 30 minutes long)


 * Essential Components of the project:

1) Collect background information on your topic. 2) Compare with American (or native country) culture business practices. 3) Interview (or written survey) with Japanese natives (exchange students, teachers, friends) on campus to find out about their views/ opinions on your topic.


 * Steps to take:

1. Decide your team topic.

2. Start putting down an outline keeping in mind the essential components for this project. See above.

3. Put down the resources you will use (fact notes, internet, people, reference books, etc.)

4. Delegate various tasks among the members of the team (for example, two members can be responsible for collecting background info, two others can do the survey, all can contribute towards collecting ideas about the comparison task, and so forth).

5. Contact me for a midterm consultation around the 9th week (around October 21) to check about the progress of your project.

6. Schedule a date for a final consultation during the 13th week (around November 18) with me.

7. Be ready to turn in the group paper on the day of your final presentation 12/5 and 12/7. The order of presentation will be decided later.

8. Please use your Project Area in Wikispaces as your collaborative work space. You may add new pages and edit the existing ones as you like. You may do your final presentation using the material you display on Wiki Project pages.
