INSEAD is recalling an exam for a recount! Let's see where else in the world did I see something similar...Oh yes, some presidential election west of the Atlantic...

There is Uncertainy about the Data and professors made a Judgement recall.

P1 Exams are a big deal. Students are asked to make a huge effort to prepare for them. Professors are requested to write new exams each year. The IT department is mobilized and work longer hours to make sure that all students can use the latest flashy technology to get their work done. The MBA Office people camp out under their desks.

INSEAD clients are professionals who have already made a big commitment to the school. One year of their life, high tuition fees, resignation, international move...
They certainly would appreciate being exposed to an equally professional facade for any item that the school puts forth as a priority.

We touched upon the power of the law of reciprocity in our Leading People and Group class. The OB Professors were cast in a leading role in our UDJ regression question. Should our Stats professors consider auditioning for a role in the OB case study?

Dear Uncertainty Data & Judgement students,

I would like to reiterate the request sent to you this morning regarding your
UDJ exams (below).

I understand that you are rightfully demanding further explanation,
and I want to assure you that all due clarifications will be provided to
all students by Monday 17th. Please trust that we are doing our best to
deal with this issue as fairly and smoothly as possible.

Meanwhile, I greatly appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Thank you,

Assistant Professor of Decision Sciences
Technology Management Area
INSEAD

Subject: UDJ final exam
Importance: High

Dear UDJ students,

There was a minor problem in the grading of the UDJ final exam and to be fair to everyone, we feel we should go ahead and make this minor adjustment. Could you please give back your exams by Nov 14th ? Should you not return the exam by that date, your grade will be automatically adjusted downwards by 5 points.
