That documentation should include approximately two pages of narrative to explain what you did, plus any supporting documentation such as receipts, advertisements, flyers, listings on eBay or Craigslist, to show your results.Include your return on investment. For example, if you spend $40 on materials to build something, and sell it for $75, enclose your receipts where you purchased materials, and also a record of your sale. Show the calculation of your profit.You do not have to double your money in order to receive extra credit. You may still receive some credit even if you do not double it.The amount of extra credit you receive will be based on creativity, the level of complexity, the amount of money involved, and your results.Submit your results to the dropbox by the deadline listed in the syllabus.

Situation TimeTodd is a super hard worker and one of your team’s top performers. He’s also one of those workers who just won’t take a vacation. Oh yes, he takes a day here and there. But each year he leaves as much as two weeks of vacation time on the table. You believe he would benefit from the occasional break, working happier and maybe more productively with some vacation time under his belt. His unwillingness to take time off is also a subject of conversation among his teammates. Their view is that he is starting to make them look and feel bad when they take the vacation time that they earn. Some are starting to act a bit resentfully toward him, and you recently overheard this comment: “Take a little time off, Todd—for the good of the team, if not for yourself.”QuestionsWhat can you do as the team leader to avoid having Todd’s reluctance to take vacation turn into major team morale and working relationships problems? How might you motivate Todd to take more vacation time, without risking his high performance commitment and work ethic?
