Good Morning,
Things seem to be moving along smoothly.
All of your International Project teams have been set up. Check the discussion board for your group's discussion space. You'll only see the group for your team and team members are listed.
If you participated in the Introduction Project peer review, you should have already returned (or be returning ASAP) any feedback to other authors. Whether or not you participated in the peer review, you should be revising your draft memo now.
Professional tip: If you receive what looks like a simple assignment on June 7 and it's not due until June 24, the bar may be higher than you think.

Remember to check the WebCampus calendar to see which exercises and quizzes are due by Friday.
The Faux Pas case is a very tricky writing assignment, in that it asks you to develop an ethical solution to a problem while you MAINTAIN positive relationships with all of the parties involved (you and Bill Nestor, you and the big boss, Bill and the big boss, your company and the French company.)
I encourage you to work on drafts for this assignment and submit them for the optional peer review by Sunday evening. In general, students who participate in peer review tend to score almost a full letter grade higher on their final drafts than students who do not participate.
Since we have good participation, we need to try to avoid the situation where one person gets tons of feedback and others get none. The rule of thumb is post your own draft and provide feedback for at leas two others. It will help a lot if you "stake your claim" to a draft by leaving a comment to say "I'll take this one." Always look for drafts that have no feedback before a draft that has one response already, etc.

You'll also notice that there is an optional Peer Review on Sunday for the first draft of the Research Design Plan. Most teams won't be very far along with this; unless of course they took my advice yesterday and they have a Project Manager and RDP team that are just a burning, fiery ball of efficiency. Regardless, if each team shares where they are with that assignment (even if its just very rough notes), you all can draw on ideas from the other teams.
Also, I'll take a look at anything that is posted and give you whatever advice I have about your research direction. There is just one peer review space for this assignment; each team can post up whatever they have under that heading on the discussion board.

I think that's about it on the logistics side for today.
Have a good day!
