Causal Reconstruction, by Gary Borchardt

WRT: 2.0 hours

Assignment

On a total of one side of one sheet of paper, using 10 pt type or larger, with standard interline spacing and margins, respond to all the following.

You dream that you are Gary Borchardt. You have just finished your thesis. Being impressed by the 10-to-watch/10-to-update idea, you decide to start writing update letters. One goes to David Waltz, who supervised your masters thesis at the University of Illinois before you came to MIT. He has no idea what you have done at MIT.

Exhibit your letter.
