【 摘 要 】

Novices need to learn how to recognize and correct formulation, spreadsheet, and writing mistakes. Yet quantitative business courses historically focus on examples of model formulation and more recently spreadsheet solution. This paper presents a feedforward example for formal instruction of troubleshooting issues for three domains, i.e., model formulation, spreadsheet development, and professional memo writing. The example is provided in a format for an active learning exercise.
