The document provides an introduction to the Sustainable Decision Making (SDM) exam, which will make up 25% of students' final grades. For the exam, students will be given a resource booklet to study for three weeks. They will then answer exam questions about making a decision on an issue presented in the booklet. The booklet will be structured with background information on the issue, options for solving it, and a decision section. Students must justify their chosen option and explain why they did not select the alternatives. The exam aims to simulate real-world decision making processes. Thorough preparation over the three weeks is important to achieve a good grade.
