I hope you will take a moment to submit your evaluation online before the window closes. I know that this is an incredibly busy time of year. Your evaluation will be greatly appreciated and will help prospective future students as they make their bidding choices in the coming semesters.

Correction Journal Page # 5, Due date Dec 8, 4pm

Hello class members! CORRECTION: sorry for the typo in my earlier announcement - Your journal page #5 is due Dec 8

It is now posted here at Stellar. Due Date: Tuesday, December 8, 2015 before 4pm. No Late Papers Accepted. Please submit BOTH hard Copy and digital entry at Stellar.

Excellent work yesterday in your scenarios and monologues. I was especially impressed by the real life portrayal and debrief of the Bullying Boss/Team Interaction as well as your solo talks from unexpected prompts. And the offers you made as managers delivering unpopular news as well as the feedback given were well executed learning improvisations.

I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday at our final class!

best,
