-Video recording, in answer to two questions, one from each half of the module.
-Maximum of 5 minutes per question, so 10 minutes in total.
-May include presentation slides
-The purpose is to address the issue using underlying theory and empirical evidence as presented in the relevant literature discussed in classes

Question 1: “Discuss the role international trade has played in shaping the development trajectories of nations, either historically (19th-century and earlier) or more recently (20th-century). Please base your answer on ONE specific reading covered during either the lectures or tutorials. Make sure to structure your slides such that the answer demonstrates a detailed understanding of the data, empirical strategy, key results/interpretations, as well as any limitations of the article.” (50 points)
Question 2: “Discuss the main challenges in effectively delivering efficient healthcare in developing countries and potential means to overcome them. Please provide a brief overview on the challenges and base your answer on ONE specific reading covered during either the lectures or tutorials that attempts to address one of these challenges. Make sure to structure your slides such that the answer demonstrates a detailed understanding of the importance of the issue, data, empirical strategy, key results/interpretation, as well as potential limitations of the article”.
