Anyone have a prof openly discuss the changes to the grand from last semester? my OBHR prof explained that they went to a curve and grades will be adjusted and changed by department heads to match the desired curve.
The course was interesting, but the group work sucked. It was a learning experience, and probably actually valuable to have to interact with group-mates outside my usual comfort zone. I'm going to go with that and keep my rose colored glasses on :)
Yup, the new associate dean is mandating it.
This has actually resulted in lower grades overall btw, no more courses where 50%+ of the class gets an A.
I had one blended class, it was pretty terrible. But we had different course outcomes and had to work with the other MBA students so that wasn’t so bad. I still wouldn’t recommend it.
I think it’s 60% b+ to A-
Essentially anchors program average GPA around 3.5 which is still very high.
B- is the hard minimum to pass a course, and you really shouldn’t be able to fail MBA Cources.
No need to take my word for it, here is the distribution for one of the courses I am currently taking:
Attachment 84685
Well in a class that spends an average of 100hrs a week on their MBA, I’ll be happy spending half the time and getting my B- lol.
I think he’s Full time. Even so sounds like a lot.
Yeah, full time. Maybe 100 was a slight exaggeration but most of the people in my cohort talk about spending 10hrs a day on schoolwork. I was just trying to say that there is no way I’m going to put in THAT much time to compete for A’s.
Some courses are known to be particularly heavy. For example Elias’s M&A course he says if you aren’t willing to spend a minimum of 10 hours a week outside of class time on his course don’t even sign up. But mostly I would say a few hours doing readings and assignments on the weekend and you are good.
What are some of the best electives to take in terms of workload and learning value? I don't plan on specializing, just want to take the path of least resistance..
As hard as M&A is I recommend it. I think it should be mandatory.
What are you interested in professionally.
Operations management and entrepreneurship are my main interests. I enjoy finance, but on a personal level.
New venture finance might be interesting. Or new venture law.
I think there are some operations amangemsnt classes offered over the summer with pretty convenient timing.
There are a ton of new entrepreneurship courses that I’m less familiar with (not really my focus).
