Quote of the Day: "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Study Questions (Policy on Study Questions.)
  • With your group, discuss and review what you learned this quarter.  How will you approach your career differently, whether starting your own business, joining a start-up, or joining an established company?
  • Prepare some talking points with your team regarding your major takeaways for the course.  For team extra credit, prepare one slide, containing graphics and/or bullets, with these takeaways and post it on your website.  You will be given time to present it in class.

Term Project Assignment (Policy on Term Project Assignments)

See Term Projects page including:

Written OAP reports. Post your OAP written report (up to 1500 words) to your team website and email it the instructors via the email list by Noon.  Your team is strongly encouraged to keep your written analysis to 1500 words, as this is a good opportunity to learn how to be succinct in business communications. 

Also by 10AM, send a confidential email to the instructors via ospflor63-homework with your personal assessment of how to distribute founding shares amongst your team members (including yourself). Assume a total of 100 are available for distribution. Share distribution should be based on completed work and not distributed as if you were actually founding a company.

Reminder

The Personal Business Plan assignment is due to the ospflor63-homework email list by 4PM on Tuesday, 13 December.  See the Personal Business Plan page for more details.

Extra Credit Opportunities
