  • Not a bad week in Operations Management

    This week wasn’t all that bad.  The assignment was only a 3 page essay, excluding references of course, which was very nice of the instructor as our final assignment is due next week and most of us have already started on it.  As you may have guessed it is slightly more than a 3 page essay.  The class has gone very ...

  • The Rhythm of Research: Should you wait to get a Masters degree?

    For the past 6 months I have been working on quantitative courses and not really so much on anything research or qualitative.  Even though I was required to write final projects the information was largely presented in equations, formulas and numerical answers with brief to thorough explanations.  There really wasn’t a whole lot of ...

  • I received my first week’s feedback in Operations Management

    As the title says, I received my first week’s assignment feedback. At the outset I immediately looked at my grade of 83% and thought ‘ah crap, it’s going to be like that, huh?’ Upon looking at the instructor feedback however I noticed two things. First is that this instructor really took the time to read and understand ...
