Assignment (cont’d)
Your last two questions Your situation/case questions must be a sort of case
study question or situation question to test
someone’s knowledge about one or more of the
quality control tools or an overall quality process.
¿Case study question?
¿Wazzat?
A case study question describes a situation in a
paragraph or several sentences (as I hope you did in
assignment 17.1). Then it asks a question about the
situation. If in 17.1, you had not told what the tool
was used or what the tool did, but asked a question
about what tool or how a tool would be used, that
would be a situation/case question.
Example: question 11–
Test 1
Think back to question 11 (the tofu burrito problem
at Michael’s vegehealthy restaurant) on your first test
(13.1?). You may remember that it described a
situation in which the tofu burrito was a Kano
competitive factor–but with some distractors. That
was a teeny case study or situation question. You
must make two similar questions for the coming test.
Submit electronically
in myCourses dropbox
Make sure you get an
affirmation from
myCourses
You must submit this assignment in electronic format
in the myCourses dropbox. Do not send it by regular
e-mail unless the dropbox does not work. If
everything is working all right, you should get a
message from myCourses saying what you submitted
was received all right.
Due date: 1100 Friday
23 October
(in the dropbox)
The due date for your questions is Friday morning,
23 October by 11AM. That might give me enough
time to get the review sheet done...I hope so.
Please: no lame excuses
Don’t wait until the last
minute
Content should be
from the last test
through next Wednesday
Spelling+grammar count
After 11AM that Friday the dropbox will be closed.
Excuses other than major accidents and health will
not be accepted–and maybe not even major
accidents.
Don’t wait until the last minute or say that you
forgot. You have plenty of lead time.
Even though the test will cover all material since the
first class, focus on content since the last test
including this class and the next three classes.
Of course, spelling and grammar will count.
Grading Questions that force the test-taker to think2will get a

Assignment (cont’d)
higher grade than questions that simply require the
test-taker to state something from memory.
Fewer points for simply
memory questions
Special warning:
no automatic full points!
Please, do think!
Special interest questions
and chuckle questions...
In fact questions that require only memory (except for
the short answer/memory questions) will get fewer
than the maximum amount of points.
Think carefully and write clever questions.
Maybe think-y ones, too.3
Amusing or interesting questions might get beer
tokens or my eternal gratitude or some extra grade
points.

You may use the content from any materials
(including worksheets and related text readings), but
you may not use previous questions from tests,
handouts, class examples, or your graded
assignments. The idea is to think of new things.
Be original–painful as it might be!

3 Maybe Hailie will come up with a spin-off of that “How are a matrix and a relationship
similar and how are they different in that similarity?” If she can come up with one like that.
she’s got it made. Or maybe Alex will read her mind...or maybe just come up with a
brilliant one of his own...or maybe...

Let’s be honest, it won’t be eternal gratitude. But maybe a few seconds’ worth...which
doesn’t compare at all with beer tokens.
The doctor knows the storm will be
here in about two days. A lot of the
building work has been done, but he
has some to finish before the final
activation phase during the storm.
What two tools (any kind or any
level) would probably be most
helpful for him to bring his creature
to life? Why those tools?
