The Task

Zombie Quarantine SignImagine that the Zombie Apocalypse is upon us. The walking dead are bearing down upon your part of the country, and everyone in the world is working to stop them and preserve life in the world as it was before the zombie awakening.

  1. Click Reply to create a space for your answer.
  2. As a way to tell your discussion group something else about yourself, write a reply that tells us the following:
    • your major and career goal (i.e., the job you expect to have when you graduate).
    • what one thing people in your career can do right now* to stop the zombies.
    • how that one thing will be effective.

    *In other words, this one thing needs to be a capability that your career already has. You cannot make up some solution that does not exist. That would be too easy :)

  3. Reread your answer to ensure that it uses business-appropriate grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
  4. After you post your solution, reply to three of your classmates, to get to know one another better. You can add a follow-up, make a suggestion, ask a question, or add another kind of comment. Be sure that your reply does not repeat the information others have already posted.
