Submission of business plans last December 20, 2012

I received yesterday 11 business plans via LBC courier at my office in Angono, Rizal.  Several were in partnership with one another.  Two submitted earlier:   one from Icham, and other from CC.

However the thin ones I could easily say did not conform to the minimum of 40 pages as specified in the syllabus.  I will have to sweat out checking those business plan during the vacation.

I have to see whether they learned from the class during the semester.  Those who do in partnership will suffer when they do the strama

One submitted at AGSB last December 19, 2012 at the last day of classes and I will not see until Jan 7, 2013.
