Exam Results for Week 7
One definite problem was that all but one of the spreadsheets supplied in Week 7 didn’t follow the design specified in the task. The spreadsheet MUST have:1. An input sheet containing ONLY the inputs2. A calculations sheet3. A report sheet containing ONLY the outputs
(Show an example sheet ...)

Business Critical Thinking Skills We are now into our last two weeks together ...
Boo hoo! <sad panda>
My opinion is that we ought to make best use of it in improving you
I am very glad to report that early this morning (2am!) Carol Springer from Georgia State University gave me permission to use the full Business Critical Thinking Skills syllabus – all eight stages from her 2004 and 2007 papers
![Page 12: Week 11: The European Union Monday 4 th April](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816853550346895dde6474/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Business Critical Thinking Skills This is the continuation of the Safe Night Out
(SNO) group task you had in Week 7
Here is what I am proposing:1. You stay in the groups you were in Week 72. We reduce how much readings and vocab you must
do (we have two weeks for the European Union)3. We move to doing a Group Task starting tomorrow
(Tuesday) due for Thursday4. When then have TWO Group Tasks starting
Thursday due for Monday next week
![Page 13: Week 11: The European Union Monday 4 th April](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816853550346895dde6474/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Business Critical Thinking Skills And then next week, to put you in a very
realistic Business environment: Very small readings and vocab on the EU next
week And a SNO group task each night due for the
following morning This will cover all eight of the SNO syllabus
stages
Each group task is the format as before: (i) Spreadsheet (ii) Presentation and (iii) Report
![Page 14: Week 11: The European Union Monday 4 th April](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816853550346895dde6474/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Business Critical Thinking Skills This wouldn’t affect your TOEIC prep
and other English language studies
We normally have two hours of theory and two hours of ELT each day, so this only affects the theory part
I suppose it depends on how much you like “the theory of the European Union” ...
![Page 15: Week 11: The European Union Monday 4 th April](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816853550346895dde6474/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Business Critical Thinking Skills Why would this be a good idea?
1. Remember from surveys of Business that Presentation skills are highly lacking in typical Business school graduates
2. Remember that effectively organising oneself and one’s group is also typically highly lacking in graduates
3. And so are critical thinking skills in general ...
It will be a lot of work for both me and for you – I have to grade all these each night!
Do you think you can cope with this?

The Century of the Self Remember how I have been telling you about
“cultural software”?
This is “programmed” by corporations to make us all behave a certain way (i.e. Buy stuff we don’t need)
For example, when women feel bad about themselves they feel an impulse to go shopping for a new dress or new shoes. This is programmed into women by corporations – it never happened 100 years ago ...

The Century of the Self The following documentary is about the
history of propaganda (nowadays called “public relations”)
This is the first part of four parts – it is about a man called Edward Bernays
He invented public relations – and had a massive influence on each and every one of you, and your parents, and your grandparents
![Page 18: Week 11: The European Union Monday 4 th April](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816853550346895dde6474/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Century of the Self He invented “the consumer”
He changed how we used to perceive society as us being citizens/subjects to us being consumers
He invented making people buy stuff they don’t want or need
And interestingly, he did this for our own good ...
