YOU MAY NOT REMOVE
THIS TEST FROM THE ROOM.
DO NOT OPEN THE QUESTION PACKET
UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO.
1. Sit in every second—usually odd-numbered—seat of your assigned row (check the projector screen), starting with the seats on the aisles on the “non-podium” side of the room.
2. Only the exam and your pencils should be on the table. Place all other belongings, including cell phones, in your bag on the floor, preferably under your seat.
3. On the answer sheet, you may start bubbling in your name and ID right away. Write your full name on this sheet, the next page, and side 1 of the answer sheet, all last name first.
4. After you are told to open the question packet, you will find the version number at the top of the first question page.
5. Pay attention to any other instructions you are given.
Please read and sign the following declaration: Outside of normal class and online materials, I certify that I obtained no advance knowledge of any exam questions or content. I understand that I should fill in and code my name and id number, not my social security number, before I begin taking the exam. Missing or incorrect entries for (1) my ID number, (2) my name, and/or (3) the exam version number may cause my exam grade to be reduced by 3 points.

3 things you'll want to know...

There's a career and internship fair today at the SEFCU Arena.  Many students have benefited from attending these events and getting a chance to meet prospective employers.  More information is available at the career development website:
http://www.albany.edu/career/

In class tomorrow, we'll be covering some global and other topics originally listed on the session 01-02 PowerPoint review notes accessible through blackboard.  ...Hotseat participants are only responsible for preparing the 2 articles and the video assigned for tomorrow (Session 07), though reviewing those earlier slides is certainly a good idea.

The in-class clicker questions for sessions 01-07 will be added to the available slides files sometime tomorrow afternoon, so you can also review them for next week's exam.

Blackboard Assignment #2, due FRIDAY 2/11/2011

Take Self Assessment #11: What Type of Organization Structure Do I Prefer?

You can access self assessments in the "student edition" of the premium content site. Again, use the password that came with the premium content associated with the textbook.

Post your numeric score and the type of organization to which the score corresponds. Discuss how valid you think this test is, and whether taking a test like this one and reviewing the results would be helpful to you in targeting a particular company or industry during your career search.

Please post your paragraph(s) as Asg02-GrpNN, where NN represents your 2-digit group number. If you are in Group09, for example, the subject heading will include "Asg02-Grp09" with no quotes and no spaces.

The assignment is due anytime before 12:01 a.m. on 2/12/2011, with the half-credit late deadline exactly 48 hours later.

Liaisons who have already been chosen or self-identified have no additional responsibilities; they just do the same assignment as everyone else.
