exam instructions

We just returned from business trip overseas and want to clarify the instructions for the exam on Monday. You will be allowed to use your computer. As always, we expect you to abide by the MIT academic honesty policy, which obviously prohibits electronic communication during the exam. Here are the instructions as written on the exam:

Time allowed: 90 minutes.

Grading: In brackets you have the points assigned to each question, 100 in total.

Instructions: You may use any resources, including Excel, in completing the exam. Of course, the responses must be your own work unless properly cited, in alignment with the MIT academic honesty policy. You may not communicate with anyone during the exam. Submit your exam on the paper answer sheet provided or electronically on Stellar as a single PDF file using the answer sheet template. Start each question response on a new page. Include any relevant sections of your Excel sheet in the PDF.

Feel free to email this weekend if you have any last minute questions while studying. We hope you enjoy the opportunity on Monday to communicate the supply chain value proposition using your new knowledge.

Jarrod and Jim
