Independent Study 4

After today there will be three days left in our current study session. The phrase of the week is "drop-dead deadline." This is a deadline you have to meet or else there are consequences. For example, "We did not meet the drop-dead deadline and we had the give the client a 20% discount as agreed upon in the contract for the project."

Today's reading is about project management and our listening material is another attempt at the Indian accent. This time Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma talks about his core principals. The vocabulary words will come from the reading. Please be able to describe them.
