- Here is an outline of your team contract , which you will tweak for your particular team. Your final draft of your team contract must be typed, and will be due Tuesday, September 5th.
- An evaluation form for the Project 1 presentations.
- An outline for your final reports. Note: I have intentionally made this outline very skimpy. I don't want you treating this as a "fill in the blanks" exercise. This report should be written like you are writing to your boss, who knows nothing. Assumptions should be clear, formulas should be given a context, etc. Don't just give a bunch of unjustified results. (A good rule of thumb: every formula, graph, chart, etc should have at least a couple of sentences explaining where it cam from, how its being used, what it means, etc.) Remember, if you get it done early I can look at a draft.
- Here are instructions for turning things in via Turnitin.com.
- Here is a regular paper/pencil practice exam (with solutions ) and here is a computer practice exam (with solutions ) for the first midterm. Our exam will not have computers, but I will be asking you questions like that using Excel screenshots.
