Brief Proposal Time Management Assignment

Business Finance

Address one or more of the topics discussed in

class,(Time management) . This project will be an

expansion on in-class discussion or work and should include additional reading, research, and/or

reflection. The form this project takes is up to you. This can be a traditional essay, piece of creative

writing, PowerPoint or Prezi, video, podcast, drawing, painting, mixed-media artwork or collection of

photographs (if doing something less straightforward, it might be good to include a brief explanation of

what the work is trying to accomplish).

For this project, you will create a proposal. This proposal detail what topic wish to explore, what avenues

you plan to take while exploring, and what form you expect the final project to take. Given the

exploratory nature of this project, it is expected that your plan will shift somewhat through the process,

but projects that stray too far from the proposal will not be accepted without prior approval from the

instructor.

Grading Criteria

An A project will demonstrate a good deal of thoughtfulness and planning.

An A project will be substantial, meaning the project should say something of some significance and

demonstrate a good deal of effort (think of the amount of information and effort that would go into a good

2-3 page paper).

proposal:

You will start read about time management and you will watch some video for people who have or had problems with time management and write how they get through their issues.

During the post colonial period, African nations were characterized by the intervention of the armed forces in politics which led to widespread coup d’etat (military take over of government by force). As Richard Reid (p.329) pointed out “By the early 1970s, a remarkable number of African states had succumbed to military rule, and the intervention of the army had become a defining characteristic of African politics.”

Why did this happen? What made post-colonial Africa vulnerable to military take over of politics? What were the historical, and post colonial internal and external conditions that favored military take over? How were the soldiers accepted when they first took power, and what did they achieve? Comment.
