Compensation task - Alternative 2
In case you have missed a lecture, you can still pass the attendancy requirement by returning a Compensation Task. There are two alternatives available, and if you have missed one class, you can choose from Alternative 1 OR Alternative 2 as you prefer. In case you have missed both lectures, you should naturally return both compensation tasks.
COMPENSATION TASK - ALTERNATIVE 2

- "What Having a “Growth Mindset” Actually Means" by Carol Dweck, Harvard Business Review. 2016.
- "Data Is Great — But It’s Not a Replacement for Talking to Customers" by Graham Kenny, HBR.org. 2021.

2. What would you expect could be the key message from Graham Kenny, if he would be adressing our ALC class? Would you agree or disagree with him, please elaborate on your thoughts? How do you see the AI will impact customer work in future, please indicate some positives and negatives?
3. Finally, please share your thoughts about doing customer work in your future career, would that be of interest to you or are you apprehensive? Why?
