This week is the final exam week for those of you who have not yet done it. Please be on time or a little early. Also, please email me any outstanding documents [ICEE tickets, proof of sickness for missing a class, etc.], by Thursday noon.
The game has ended and the winners are:
We still have a class this week, so you need to come. In the first hour, we will be doing some of the unfinished material posted on Week 13. In the second hour, we will start the final exams for those students who have been chosen. Anyone who wasn't chosen to do the final on Week 16 will be assigned a time to come on Week 17.
The final covers everything posted on the blog or was done in class. It consists of two students discussing random questions. The questions deal with general questions ['What's a good investment for the future?'] and not specific details from the articles ['How much did the S&P 500 rise by last year?]. I won't test vocabulary except for some very essential words [stock, bond, dividend, P/E Ratio, Present Value, opportunity cost, capital gain, interest, T-bill/T-bond].
We will finish Presentation II, so if you haven't presented yet, be ready. If there is extra time, we will finish some of the articles from Week 13.
The larger classes will start the final exams in Week 16, so I will be assigning exam times as well.
This week we start Presentation II. Please email me your PPT [one per group] before the beginning of class.
Don't forget to bring your ticket to prove you attended at least one ICEE event from last week or I will mark you absent for week 12. Anyone who made a speech on Tuesday morning is exempt. You can also take a picture of your ticket and email it to me [include your class & name].
I don't think we will finish all the material in this week's drive folder, but we will do it by the final week.

Next week we start Presentation II. Please email me your group's PPT before class. My email is: colingullberg@gmail.com
There is no class this week, but everyone is required to attend one ICEE event. When you attend an event you will receive a ticket which will be stamped. Bring this ticket to class in Week 13 to prove you attended an event. If you don't attend at least one event you will be marked absent for Week 12.
There is still time to sign up to be a speaker for the ICEE Week [Wk 12] event. Our event is the Extended Speech to be held on Tuesday, May 12 at 9:00 in the auditorium on the first floor of the R Building. Please see the TA Carina in the English Dept. office [R901]. Tell the teacher too. Everyone who speaks will receive an additional 5% on their final grade for this class.

We will continue with the presentations this week. All students still have to attend class, even if they have already presented.
Please email me if you are interested in doing the Extended Speech for ICEE Week in week 12. You will receive an additional 5% on the final grade for this class. There's a sign-up sheet in the English Dept office [R901]. Please sign up with Carina.
We will be doing Presentation I during these two weeks. You don't need to move the chairs. You need to email me the PowerPoint before class on Week 8. PPT files arriving after the start of class will be considered late and will lose 10%. Even if you don't present that day [or even if you don't come to class] the PPT is due.
Please include the following information with the PPT file:
Your English Name, The day of your class [Tues/Wed/Th] and the period of the class [12 or 34]. So if you are David and your class is Wed 8:10-10:00 you would write:
David Wed 12
No other information is needed.

Welcome to Business English [BEN 204 (II)], the second half of sophomore conversation. I hope we speak a lot of English, learn something about basic concepts in economics, finance, and business, and have fun in class.
