Assessment #1: Romania Case Study

For each of the three case studies, students will prepare an assessment of between 1100 and 1200 words of text, 1.5 spaced. Each case study should have a separate bibliography including at least 2 references, using APA format. Bibliography does not count towards word count.  Each assessment should have:
