Congratulations
to those who passed. This was a tough assignment, so well done for getting
through it. Biggest flaws were:
(1) Not answering the question. You were asked to apply Economics to a decision, and some students did not indicate a question.
(2) Not laying out your argument for the decision in your intro or indicating what decision
you are making
(3) Column 3 - not applying theory to your facts, just explaining the theory or what you learnt
(4) Executive Summary - not making an argument or using findings from
Column 3
(5) Not doing factual research (e.g. how much more do MAP students earn?).
(6) Starting but not finishing.
Some students who failed started well but then stopped without doing
the later sections, or skipped whole sections, or had no structure at
all
In short, students were tested for working hard and working smart

1-day and 2-day training workshops are supported by software so that we know why to change and how
to change and what to do to make that change

Thanks
again for a stimulating workshop – am still trying to get my head
around everything.
Helmut Bertelsmann (NBI)
|
Thanks
for a very stimulating workshop. It was very good and very
helpful. We both enjoyed it very much and gained a great deal (take a
bow). Tim
Smith (Cathca)
|
You
are really an inspiration to the nation! Thanks a million! Corrie Ras (S.A. Federation
for Mental Health)
|
I must say I really enjoyed the course. It
was an wide eye-opener. Professionally, I’m empowered, you are a smart boy, and
your course just solved my problem. You had all the words for the very unstable
logic I had in terms of reporting, I thank you. Your course is most informative, I enjoyed
it, not quite what I thought would be in my spoon when I got there. Man, you
make a woman think. Portia Kwinika (Pretoria
Sungardens Hospice)
|
Indeed
it was such a great day. Often in our daily work we tend to forget basic stuff
and they impact the overall organization. I had a great day. Tinyiko Chauke (Stats SA)
|
Thank
you for a brilliant day - an eye-opening day. Candice Morkel (North West Prov Govt)
|
My
head is still buzzing this morning with all the great things we learnt
yesterday – all the enthusiasm I was feeling. Peter Laubscher (Leprosy Mission)
|
I
am totally stunned by the complexity and comprehensiveness of your models and
your ability to use Excel. There is so much potential if your work to make
something very useful to both NGOs and CSI depts. I am sure that you are on the
right track. Marcus
Coetzee (ICMS)
