2. Prepare a brief review of each article. Each review should include a synopsis and discussion of the article.

What interested you about the article?
Does it relate to any topics we have discussed in class so far?
What did you learn from the article?
Did anything in the article surprise you?
Do you have an opinion on the issues mentioned in the article, etc.?

3. Each review must be double-spaced (12 point font), with a minimum length of one full page and a maximum length of three full pages. Grammar and spelling will be evaluated. Refrain from taking direct phrases and sentences from the article as much as possible, i.e. use your own words.

4. Articles must be from periodicals dated January 2012 or later. Risk management and insurance are dynamic areas with changes occurring at a rapid pace.

5. On or before the due date, turn in a HARD COPY of the reviews, including a link to the article or the first/front page of the article (do NOT rip out a page if using the library's hard copy).

6. The objective of this assignment is to expose you to the insurance trade literature and to the latest "hot issues" in the industry. In addition, as with any written assignment, it will provide you with the opportunity to develop your writing skills.

7. Reviews will be graded based on quality of content, quality of writing, and how well you have followed the guidelines given above.
