What you’re doing:
You have been preparing for the project throughout the last 5 weeks. Your project should be a written assignment in which you are developing an international development project in a country for either algae production or crustacean production. The project is broken into 5 sections addressing certain aspects of the course outcomes and building on our assignments and discussion boards. The general formatting is as follows: 2 pages per section with the exception of the conclusion page which can be 0.5 pages to 1 page which equates to 10 pages including graphics (pictures, figures, diagrams). Times New Roman 12 point font, single spaced. References should be a minimum of 10 sources with at least 5 coming from peer reviewed sources (journal articles or white papers from .gov or .org websites).
