February 2

If you missed today's class, you will not be responsible for the writing assignment that goes with the simulation. Today, the class was divided into two groups which were meant to represent two factories. There were also a couple of students who acted as cottage system workers. Both the factory and cottage system workers were asked to produce "fortune tellers". At the end of the simulation we debriefed and then you were given the assignment. In the writing assignment you must use each of the following terms correctly:
  • cottage system
  • factory system
  • mass production
  • quality
  • quantity
  • specialization
  • division of labor
  • assembly line
  • quality control
  • skill

Please make sure that you underline the terms above in your written assignment. Also, please make sure that you demonstrate an understanding of the key terms. The good copy for this written assignment is Friday, February 4th.
