Spring Break. I must receive a very good grade to keep my grade up in the class to maintain my scholarship. My professor cancels the last class due to a family emergency. To prepare for this exam I must read pages 70-120. I realize that 20 of the required pages are missing from my textbook and realized I don't have anyone's number or email from my class. My textbook is out of stock in the bookstore. I have a plane to catch in less than 24 hours to Cancun with three friends and won't be back until the day before the exam.
Identify Key Issues:
- Exam with missing pages from my textbook
- Plane to catch in less than 24 hours
- Worth 50% of my grade
Identify Assumptions:
- Failing the exam
Break the Problem Apart:
- Last class cancelled
- 20 pages missing
- Book out of Stock
- No number or email of classmates
- Less than 24 hours to catch a plane
- Exam the day after return
Model Sub-Problems:
- No number or email of classmates
Integrate Solutions:
- Email Professor
- Switch Flight to Cancun
- Look up textbook online
Test and Validate:
- Look up switching flights
- Look up ebook for textbook or online bookstore
Generalize the Solution: These reasons are keeping me from preparing for the exam
Communicate Solution: Preparing for an exam that's 50% of my grade is more important than a trip to Cancun. So to make sure I study and get to enjoy my Spring Break, I'm going to try and get in contact with my professor if I can't contact any of my classmates or find the text book online.
