Also,

If you look over at Document Manager, you will fins the PDF versions of all of the tests and answer keys.

Quite honestly, if you do not in good faith go through these practice tests, I have no heart nor ear to hear of your plees for mercy.  As I said at the beginning of the semester, to study a little each night allows you to digest a mountain of material.  To cram before the test gets you the full extent of your efforts.

Good Luck

Quotable

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

Quotables:






SEMII

“Colleges and universities have tried to defend their decisions to cut men’s athletic programs by claiming that Title IX requires gender equity. Actually, neither the Title IX statute nor its regulations require such a thing. But the OCR has issued an interpretation of compliance stating that a school may demonstrate compliance with Title IX if the school can show that the gender breakdown in the athletic department mirrors the gender breakdown of full-time undergraduate students. This provision— the proportionality test—is known as prong one of the three-prong test. The other two prongs—showing a history of expansion of women’s sports or showing that all student interest has been accommodated—have no measureable ways to demonstrate compliance, and thus are simply holding patterns until prong one is met. Proportionality is the only quantitative measure in the three-prong test, and thus the only assurance to schools that they are safe from Title IX-related lawsuits.”

Allison Kasic, Kimberly Schuld

Title IX and Athletics: A Primer

Independent Women’s Forum

September 2008 

“Unfortunately, as long as government is involved, college sports will continue to revolve around political, rather than athletic, contests, and only the most politically skilled will win. Until now, that's been supporters of Title IX, who have succeeded in persuading policymakers to require that colleges accommodate a demand for women's athletics opportunities that can't even be shown to exist. It's a game Title IX supporters have liked because the referee -- the government -- has usually been on their side.

But real fairness requires a neutral referee, which political solutions simply can’t provide. Take the government out of the game, however, and colleges and students -- not politicians -- will decide the winner. In other words, abolish Title IX, and let supply and demand take over the referee job.

In such a system women will almost always control the ball. They can choose the schools that offer what they want -- athletic opportunities, artistic outlets, good academics, or anything else -- and can run past those that don't.”

Neal McCluskey

Super Bowl Assignment

Product (Product Service Management) often involves hours and sometimes days of brainsorming concerning what will your product be.  Once this is taken care of, usually a model/concept is drawn/created and then the fun starts with trying to find others/a company to buy the idea from you or at the very least (as in Shark Tank) fund your idea.

When these are not viable options, the internet has heard our cries for financing blessing and smiled down to us.  In this case, we are going to explore the world of Kickstarter.  Some of the ideas are crap, but others actually pull at my wallet strings and make me wish I could help fund their adventures.
