What BUSI 605 covers
Geringer, McNett and Ball's International Business is read one module a week, including a bonus module in Module/Week 3, each with one to three presentations; every week also brings a MiniCase, a short case essay of at least 500 words in APA format worth 40 points, on the case printed with the module.
Students are placed in groups for eight forums. Each thread answers one question from the forum list in at least 250 words; in Module/Weeks 2 through 6 and 8 the student also replies to two classmates in at least 250 words each, and the thread and replies must both be posted for credit. Replies are not required in Module/Weeks 1 and 7.
The course provides in-depth perspectives concerning the nature of international business and the environment in which it is conducted, including international trade, foreign direct investment, the relationship between international organizations and international business, the international monetary system, and international environmental forces (socio-cultural, natural resources, economic, political, legal, financial, labor).

Where BUSI 605 papers lose points
BUSI 605 work loses points when a thread treats trade or culture as a matter of opinion rather than evidence, when a reply restates a classmate instead of adding a study or qualification, when a forum's replies are missing, and when the final project describes a country without analyzing what each environment means for a foreign firm or falls short of 16 scholarly sources.
