  6. Follow up/rElatEd actIVItIEs

Follow up activities can include having students discuss

similarities and differences among the advantages and

disadvantages of sourcing in particular countries. Reflective

learning activities (e.g. asking students to write/discuss the

three major points they learned from the activity) can

also be used. A follow up discussion of standard codes

of conduct and labor compliance implementation in the

countries presented would also be beneficial.
