Dear EMP68ers,
I hope that you’ve had time, by now, to work through the
Session-4 sample exams.
Your exam will be based on the dataset contained in the
workbook "US One-on-One exam data.xls" (attached to this email). The first tab of the
workbook contains your examination dataset, together with a description of some
of the issues the manager who collected the data wishes to explore. (The
description also contains a weblink to some totally-optional background reading
on the industry in question.)
Between today and Monday morning, June 19, please
analyze the dataset on your own, and within your study group, in whatever ways
you wish. There should be no cross-study-group discussion of the
dataset.
On June 19 at 10:15 AM, you’ll take the 90-minute
in-class final exam You may, during the exam, use your computer (of course!),
and may access any class notes, personal notes, supporting texts, and
preliminary analyses (on paper or stored) that you have available. The exam will
come with an answer sheet for short handwritten answers. You’ll need to turn in
the answer sheet, but may keep the question sheet as a personal copy (i.e.,
please don’t pass it on to anyone outside of your
class).
I hope to receive the exams on Tuesday, and have your
grades and answer sheets back at the
Have a stimulating and enjoyable live-in
week!
Best regards, Bob Weber
