We're in week six of eight and Term One is rapidly coming to an end. Weekly reports from our lecturers indicate that all students are performing well and will successfully complete this term's courses.
- Julia Richardson (Organizational Leadership) has scored students' reflective mid-term module assignments and she has one more lecture before students take over the class to present "Elective Topic Workshops," an assignment in which student syndicates (teams) design corporate training programmes for topics not previously covered in class.
- Beth Rose (Statistics and Decision Tools) has finished delivering new material and students are actively analyzing data pertaining to a complex business problem, an individual level assessment.
- Paul Hansen (Economics) will still introduce students to the topics of Behavioral Economics (e.g., bounded rationality, prospect theory, judgemental heuristics / biases) and Game Theory, as students concurrently complete syndicate-level applications of multi-criteria decision making with 1000minds software.
- Term One final exams begin on 31 May.
One additional note: Our students returned from their International Exchange at Duke University
and report that they performed well (i.e., "with relative ease") in Duke's MBA
courses after completing our Otago MBA core programme.
