The first part (30 min) of class will simply be the reading and extraction of key material from two wonderful articles.

The first, a short one concerning the set up of a U2 concert and everything involved in getting it to fruition.  Page 22-23 Feb/March 2012

The second, Super Bowl XLV, pages 36-40 Oct/Nov 2012 or around there.  No, this wasn't the most current one, rather, the one in Dallas at the new stadium...yes, the $1.3 Billion dollar one. 

Both concern themselves with facility managers and their roles within the context of these two high visability events.

Your job is to read both and list out (word document) the particular challenges the event team/manager faced in putting on such a show in each event.  Note the time required and the expense that most assurdily that came with the territory in hosting such an event. 

Thirdly, I wish you to find another article in any of the Facility Manager publications and tell me about it in one paragraph.  The third article must have something to do with the subjects we have dealt with in this class. 

These are not to be printed out.  All are to be done in the same word.doc.  You can email them to me.

Make sure you have your name and class block on each paper and in the subjectline of each email.

This will help me greatly.

The video will begin ~ 30 min into class....and last ~ 45 minutes.

The assignment is due by the end of class.

Overstimulated

Time to pay attention to the Weber-Fechner Law.
It's easier to tell the difference between two bags of flour that are three ounces apart in weight when one weighs a pound, than it is to tell the difference between two bags that are three ounces apart when one weighs twenty pounds.
It's easier to tell the difference between two flashlights that are 6 lumens apart when one is just 2 lumens bright than it is to tell them apart when one is 200 lumens.
The more stimulus you're getting (light, sound, pressure, delight, sadness) the less easily you can notice a small change. That seems obvious, but it's worth saying.
If you're entering a market filled with loudness, it's harder to be noticed, even if the incremental benefit you offer seems large to you. If you're trying to delight existing customers, the more delighted they already are, the more new delight you need to offer to turn heads.
One more reason to seek out those that are both interested and underserved.

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
Murphy

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.”
