Term 2 Begins: OPIM 621 Wins Most Interesting Class Award

Following a quick rest after finals, Term 2 has already begun. We have new study rooms and they mixed up the sections, which is great to be able to meet new people.

Our curriculum for Term 2 is:

STAT 601 - Statistical Analysis for Management - Prof. Richard Waterman
FNCE 602 - Macroeconomics and the Global Economic Environment - Prof. Andrew Abel
OPIM 621 - Decision Models and Uncertainty - Prof. John Hershey
MGMT 652 - Foundations of Leadership - Prof. Michael Useem


OPIM 621 gets my vote for the "Most interesting class" of the weekend award.

Why?

Warning for next year's students: Prof. Hershey uses a "random cold call" generator to call on students during lectures. Ambal, Bolaji, Prasad, and Preetam all got lucky and played the game....
