Question: You may choose a particular chapter that impressed you and focus on that, or a case or set of cases or other materials that intrigued you, or you may bring in personal or professional experiences that relate to the course. You have a lot of latitude in what you write in this 1500-word essay.

You may write about a personal or family issue relating to any issue in the course having to do with business in Latin America. You may write about a work situation involving relevant business issue, or an issue in current events. You may simply write about a chapter or two that particularly spoke to you. You may write about current events.

The basic objective is that you reflect on what you have gained from taking this course. You should include at least some of what you learned from the course material (text, videos, discussion, etc.).

Evidence of personal reflection. Sometimes students have personal or family experience that relates to the course. Sometimes something has happened in society, like the Covid-19 pandemic, that causes new reflection and reaction.

Sometimes something happens in a country being studied, or to a company in the news, that provides a great opportunity for linking real life to course material. Sometimes an essay is intended to argue a point or persuade someone about a point of view, but this is not necessily that kind of essay (although you may choose to do it this way).

You will probably want to write this essay in increments as you go through the course, and you definitely should allow time for re-reading and editing it at the end of the course. FIU has a Writing Center that provides guidance if you feel you could benefit from it. Using proper grammar and punctuation is definitely appreciated.
