Textbooks

[LifeAct]

I tried to order the textbooks for this module, but it seems as if the "Presentations SOS..." book is not available at ACTEX or the actuarialbookstore.com. It won't be available until June. I was planning on trying to get the DMAC module done while waiting for my results for CSP. Is this textbook used early in the module? Should I wait to register until I get this book?

I didn't use the presentation book to do my DMAC exercise. I am using it now to prepare for the presentation at the FAC course.

I had the same idea as you. I registered and started the module and although I'm not up to the Presentations SOS book, it looks like it's after the Minto Pyramid book (Chapters 1 though 8 and 10) but before the Harvard Review Book.

I thought Presentation SOS was mostly fluff. Some very useful stuff, but that would fit one page. No reason to wait for this book. Full speed with the module!

PS - I'm loving Minto. That one is actually useful.

Having finished the module (working on the project now), the S.O.S book is pretty useless for the project but I could see it coming in handy in preparation for the FAC presentation (although I'll have to see what that entails before making a judgement). I thought the Minto Book was interesting and useful and the Harvard Business Review had 2 articles, the 1st was useful for the project and the 2nd I found interesting (but not overly useful).
