Partner Project Students working in pairs will spend a portion of the semester doing a project in which they will research and actually visit a large company. They will put together a comprehensive report on their findings and give a presentation to the class about what they learned. They will also participate in a "Cookie-Selling" project in which they will market their product and compete against other cookie-sellers to see who gets the most revenue. |
