I have installed all dissection updates sent to me. Dissection journals are ready to be studied and ranked. Prepare a list alphabetically (by last name) and attach each person's dissection rank (1-8), with "1" being the dissection you think is best. Also, note any dissections that deserve special commendation in a category. Do not "commend" a dissection if you do not feel any are worthy. The categories are * Best Product Market Analysis * Best Product Usage Analysis * Best BoM * Best Photo Journal * Best Aesthetics Return your rankings to me (by email with subject line "dissection rankings") before 5PM on Monday. Enjoy! jwb ------------------ J.W.

Submit these to me by email (with subject line "final study questions") before 5PM on MONDAY. Your questions should cover at least one (2+ is preferable) topics from the course. The lecture notes are a rich source for ideas. Try not to make your questions build on prior results too much. Your email submission must also include the solution, including showing the work. Your submission should be plain ASCII text, or a PDF if you need to include a figure. See you Tuesday at 11AM. jwb ------------------ J.W.
