Management PhD students had a meeting with Malia and Stephan on
10/18/2023. In that meeting, students brought up an issue with class
options and scheduling. Because there are very few mandatory core
classes within Management, students take many external classes. Those
external classes can have special requirements (especially of they’re
not in the business school) and their scheduling often conflicts with
management core classes or activities.
It might be possible to adjust some of our own internal scheduling or
reach out to other departments to adjust their requirements.
So, to understand our needs better, we conducted a brief survey.
Students were asked to list all non-core classes that they have
taken.
For each class, they indicated; (1) how valuable it was for their
research (1 = Not at All Valuable to 5 = Extremely
Valuable); (2) how enjoyable it was (1 = Not at All
Enjoyable to 5 = Extremely Enjoyable); and (3) whether
they would recommend that the division would take it into account when
scheduling core class (YES or NO).
