2. Preliminaries  Pre-class (20 constructed response points): imagine you work for a vice president of a large corporation. Part of your job entails preparing Excel spreadsheets which your boss uses for making presentations about the business. On one afternoon, you worked hard preparing a spreadsheet which your boss used as the basis for a presentation before the company president and C.E.O. During the presentation, the president found a glaring mistake which neither you nor your boss noticed before. In a Word document, draft a paragraph (at least 5 sentences) on the following questions:  How do you think your boss felt after the president brought the mistake to your boss’s attention?  How might you feel after being called into his office for a “chat”?  Has an experience like this ever happened to you while on the job?
