WINNER COMPANY 

There are the grades from presentations. The items graded are similar to the first presentation: 

1. Visual aids 5 points
2. Language 5 points
3. Coherence in the company 5 points

BeFree

Production 5 - 4 - 2 total: 11 
Marketing 1 - 4 - 2 total: 7
Sales 0 - 4 - 2 total: 6
Finance 0 - 4 - 2 total: 6

Total: 30/60

Fast & Furious Burgers

Production 5 - 4 - 4 total: 13
Marketing 5 - 4 - 4 total: 13
Sales 5 - 4 - 4 total: 13
Finance 4 - 5 - 4 total: 13

Total: 52/60

WHAT´S NEXT

So the company that will continue is Fast & Furious Burgers. Unfortunatly, one misunderstading with one member of this company has caused the following (Besides Monday students must continue with the option of the class project):

- F&F will be reorganized together with members from BeFree company (this company does not exist anymore). 
- F&F departments members will be split up.
- Each new department will have as maximum 5 people, so new leaders will be named.
- The final presentation will be held on December 16th.
- All must work as a team.

Consider that:

- No member can present alone or to be autonomus.
- You can´t quit to the project, that means if you do that, you voluntarly do not continue with the class.
- Comunication and compromise are the keys of your success.

THIRD CUT

The grades for the third cut are:

Comment: 5 (post here!)
Written exam: 10
Oral Exam: 10 (individual)
Presentation:25 (group)

Total: 50

SECOND CUT

You can see the grades today at noon. Those are:

- Presentation: 15
- Written Exam: 20
- Paper (sent by email): 5
- Passive voice homework (sent by e-mail): 5
- Blog comment: 5

Total: 50

...AND FINALLY

I will publish before Saturday the new organization. Please get in contact with your teammates, and post a comment here. Any question or doubt, e-mail me.

  
Happy Halloween :)

27th & 28th second partial

Hi

Due to the events that have caused that we didn´t have class, we have to reinforce the passive voice through exercises in my blog.

So check the following:

1. Each leader will send me her/his paper before Sunday, so I can check it and correct it. So you can take advantage and get ready for the presentation.

2. The presentation will be held on October 27th and 28th.

3. The written exam will be held on October 27th and 28th. The topics are:

- Grammar: Passive voice.
- Reading: about one of the departments.
- Written: about company.
- Vocabulary from Production, Marketing, Finance and Sales units (so you have to check the units  that were not seen in class).
- Listening: about one of the departments.

4. Passive voice (second part)

Check the videos for explanation:

5. Change to passive to active the following sentences:

Somebody accused me of stealing the money.
My bicycle has been disappeared.
The men were paid
These cars are produced in Japan.
The Minotaur was killed by Tesseus.

Send the answers to my e-mail david_martin@cun.edu.co

Have a nice weekend :)

C. As you can see, I have to companies (Monday and Tuesday class) but is a huge job to me to manage a sportswear and a burger company, so by October 30th, ONLY ONE will stay, the other will be finished :)

So according to points, both are tied.

Any question just e-mail me.

New organization...new schedule.

As you can see, I have modified some aspects in some groups, meanwhile in some, the order is the same. I decided to name some leaders so there can be a person to lead the process and push the rest.

Check the new schedule:

April 28th and 29th - 

May 5th and 6th - Departments Presentation (each divided group will present same slides. These slides must present everything you think it is necessary and in the present, not future things to do)

May 12th and 13th - Written and Oral Exam (individual interview) 

May 20th - Final Presentation (All company) 

Have a nice weekend.

And the winner brand is...

The two brands are excellent; the main idea is to create a beer that represents a new product. Hero´s Company and Barley Company invented the identity of each brand with great ingenuity and innovation. But, only one will remain, and according to the presentations and organization, and you did this brand more specific to the possibility of a product release, the winner brand is HERO´S.

The reasons are:

-         - They show the process of production.

-          -Their capacity of storing.

-          -High quality in the product.

-          -Introducing of a new class of beer.

-          -Supporting the beer´s name.

-          -Sales strategies

-          -Capacity of production.

Congratulations, but I cannot leave a lot of people unemployed, so the company´s new organization will be as the following:
