ABSTRACT
Individual students typically receive feedback on graded work about their modeling mistakes in a quantitative management course. This paper presents an example for formal instruction of trouble shooting issues for model formulation and writing in an undergraduate management science course. The goal is to help novices recognize a number of common mistakes in model formulation and the accompanying written documentation for a business problem.
