Per Marissa, these sound good. But in this instance, think more about what the question is, and what kind of information they’re looking for…

Great, thank you Marc!

Not a question. But I’ve realized that using “ctrl F” to search documents from the case studies help minimize the amount of time spent on the questions.

That’s a good question, I’m not actually sure. My guess is that it’s some mix of making things simpler on the exams, but also that this specific question type isn’t helpful to them in identifying competencies in the various topics.

I think it would be nicer if you can put answer and question in the same page. So student can check both eaiser.

Scratch papers are not allowed anymore, no calculators as well. Whiteboard has a calculator we can use.

Are there resources available to Black Spectacles users regarding financial/calculation questions that we could practice to help us better understand firm financials and understand information that might be provided in a question but not needed beyond what is covered in Black Spectacles lectures and ARE Live sessions?
