Your Tasks
 

In this rotation, you'll be working within a simulation. In parallel with the simulation, you'll be working on activities that to some extent mirror what you'll be doing within the simulation (e.g. in the simulation you critique a client interview and later you have the opportunity to conduct your own client interview). These activities are called On Your Own tasks and you will work on them independently of your teammates. The table below shows you which simulation and On Your Own tasks you'll be working on simultaneously. You may refer to the Rotation Schedule for details.
