Org Mgmt and Telecom Mgmt ....

Organizational Management.
The faculty is a Harvard MBA with quite a bit of experience. His teaching method was awesome...though typical Harvard MBA type case-class.

However, what I liked was the faculty's background.
He did his MBA while GM sponsored him..but he never went back to GM and paid for it.
He was in Bufalo where he floated a regional bank along with his brother and later sold it off well.
He looks more like a turnaround specialist...since these days he does independent consulting for the same.

He is a typical Pittsburgher (as he says) since he is back to da Burgh. Lives life on his own terms and has come to teach since he is liking it a lots !

First day was absolutely awesome with the Disney case.......
.....Looking forward to more action from his class !

Telecom Management
This class was as boring as "boring" could be. The faculty is highly knowledgeable. However, due to accent and speech delivery, he can get monotonous. He has sea of information with him but unable to put it forth.

Some students were aggravated and planning to talk to the concerned authorities about the same.

For me, I missed my Negotiations class....darn it !
Negotiations is more important for me since Linda Babcock (author of a book) is going to take it.
But, wait....I get to know right now that Linda didn't take it and J. Simmer did....hmm... he is an arbitrator ! WoW !...but..students say that even he was boring...

Letsee..if I do not get an exemption from the Telecom guy...I shall have to take Negotiations in next sem.

All said and done, after 3 classes, first day was awesome and I was fully fired.
I got an exemption from DBMS and that was cool..need to figure out the same for Java.
