I took the plunge and got LASIK about a month ago.
Amazing to be without glasses or contacts for the first time in 20 years. VERY convenient. Although some people tell me they miss the specs on me.

Thanks, < < < < HS < < < < < < Guidelines for MBA Case-Study Alternative < < < < Instead of taking the final exam in this < < course, you have the < < option of writing three short papers analyzing < case < < studies of < < transactions. Your grade will be determined by the < < best two of the < < three papers you hand in. At least two of the < < studies must be < < individually authored. One may be submitted as a < < group project if you < < have classmates you wish to collaborate with. < There < < is no requirement, < < however, that you participate in a group < project?you < < may do all three < < on your own. < < < < Coverage: At least two of your papers should < < address case < < studies from the Masten book. You may cover case < < studies we have < < already discussed in class or you may choose cases < < we skipped or have < < not yet covered. If you wish, one of your three < < papers may address a < < case study from another source or from your own < work < < experience. It is < < important, however, that the case involve < < transactional issues. < < Examples of appropriate cases are those involving < < procurement < < negotiations, make-or-buy decisions, contractual < < bargaining or < < renegotiation, and structural transactions like < < mergers, acquisitions, < < or spin-offs. < < < < Your paper should be structured around < several < < questions: (1) < < what is the phenomenon to be explained and why is < it < < interesting? (2) < < What explanations does the author of the study < offer < < for the observed < < facts? (Or, if an outside case, why did the < parties < < involved do what < < they did?) (3) Do you find the author's theory < < convincing? Why and/or < < why not? (4) What alternative explanations would < you < < want to < < investigate for the empirical evidence? Are there < < any explanations you < < think are likely to be as, or more, important? And < < (5) what applied < < value does the study have in the business < < setting?i.e. what are the < < useful take-home lessons for managers? You need < not < < restrict yourself < < to these questions or strictly follow the above < < structure. It is just a < < suggested guideline for the kind of coverage I < < expect. < < < < Deadlines: The first paper will be due < October < < 31, the second < < is due November 28, and the third is due December < < 12. You may submit < < the papers in Word or Wordperfect format by e-mail < < or in person. In < < order to give you guidance on grading and < < expectations, I will return < < the October 31 papers in class the following week. < < < < Length: There is no set length, although I < < expect it will take < < 5-7 double-spaced pages to cover the suggested < < analysis. Some of you < < may wish to write more, and in some cases you < might < < do a good job in < < fewer pages. But 5-7 pages is generally what I < have < < in mind. Please use < < 12-point font and standard 1-inch margins. < < < < < < < < < < < __________________________________________________ < Do You Yahoo!? < Make a great connection at Yahoo!
