Leaving Comments – Macro and Logistics

I seem to have fixed it so that you can leave comments on my blog.  so please try to do so if you have something to say.  We can get some threads going for the final.  Any comment on this post in the next 24 hours will get one bonus point. No extra points for more than one comment.  Try it out!

Final Case – Logistics

As we discussed the final case will be written and presented for Monday.  For the morning class it is AML; for the afternoon class it is Alberta Highway. The case is both on WebCT and on reserve in the library.  The questions are on WebCT.  Bring your presentation on a jump drive.

We can have dueling presentations in both classes.

I am expecting the presentations in morning class to be made by: Team 2 (Eagles) and  Team 3 (Giants).  Please limit your talk to 20 minutes with 5 minutes for questions at the end.
I am expecting the presentations in afternoon class to be made by: Team 9 (Falcons), Team 10 (49ers) and  Team 12 (Saints).   With 3 presentations there will be a time limit of 15 minutes for the presentation and only brief post-presentation questions.

All teams should email me their presentations BEFORE CLASS on Monday.  Thanks.

This week – Logistics

Remember, this week we will be talking about a bit more optimization.  On Friday, you have a case to write up as teams. I will ask teams that have not talked before to present. The case is AML for the morning class (teams 1 thru 5) and Alberta Highway Dept for the afternoon class (everyone else).  I am expecting the powerpoints before class Friday.

On Monday the 11th we’ll conclude the class with some remarks.  On Wednesday the 13th we will have our simulation windupparty and I will ask some teams to discuss their stratetgies, and issues with the simulation.  On either of these days feel free to ask about the exam.  I will also hand out the take home portion of the exam on Wednesday the 13th.

Friday the 15th will be exam day, as discussed elsewhere.
