Hola como están?

Les parece si vamos empezando con el caso, hay que hacer el estudio de caso, según lo propone el libro (antecedentes, hechos, etc.), yadicionalmente, contestar las preguntas. Como ven si dividimos las preguntas así o las contestamos entre todos (faltan dos preguntas)? Digan que onda, yque día nos vemos va?

Creo que podemos ir empezando por separado y cuando nos veamos complementar la presentación con las ideas de todos no?
