1. The PowerPoint slides and summary notes for Consumer Behavior—our topic for the coming two weeks—have been posted to the course web site at http://www.buad307.com/PPT_notes.html .
2. Midterm I will be returned in lecture on Tuesday.  The exams will be returned on the front stage of the auditorium in manila envelopes.  Please take and keep the exam from your envelope but return the empty envelope so that it can be re-used.
3. I will be traveling from Saturday through Monday evening, so I will not be on campus again until Tuesday morning.  During the trip, I expect to have cell phone and Internet access, but it may take me longer to get back to you since I will be in meetings most of the time.
4. The wireless microphones now appear to be working properly in the auditorium after I made some adjustments.  For those of you in the Wednesday, 2:00 p.m. discussion section, Information Technology Services has now taken care of the network connectivity problems in WPH 207.  Thank you for your patience while these problems were being resolved!
5. As a reminder, the Library Database Resource List is officially due on Tuesday, but it is fine if you need a few extra days.  Instructions are available in the syllabus and at http://www.buad307.com/PDF/Sources--Instructions.pdf .  If you run into problems finding suitable articles, please feel free to come in during office hours to discuss your situation.  Please note that finding appropriate sources is likely to be a subject too complex to be discussed through e-mail.
6. I am continuing to send out preliminary notifications on project proposals to indicate whether, based on a quick review, any major disqualifying problems were found in the proposal.  Once this process is completed, I will send out more elaborate comments on the proposals.  This process will take several weeks to complete.  You will NOT receive these comments before the Library Database Resource List is due. You should proceed with the Library Database Resource List at this time assuming that your idea is acceptable.

WEEK IN REVIEW:  This week, we continued our discussion of international marketing issues, focusing mostly on international economics and cross-cultural promotion.  Next week, we have a few additional issues to cover in international marketing, after which we will proceed to Consumer Behavior.
