Discussing probable answers to Exam 1 - Rachel, pay attention! Team Update as of 10/4/05: After the first exam, we realized that we have our work cut out for us, but we are not afraid of a challenge. We welcome the hard work ahead of us and we look forward to making the next exam a positive step towards un excellente grade in this class. We have been meeting more often and discussing more case studies. Our plan of attack for the next exam will be to study more ahead of time and with more case studies. We believe that this strategy will help us to achieve the test scores that we oh so deserve! As Hillary would say, we're going to SPANK Exam 2! :)
