Tasks started
Fall/Spring 2002-2003
|
Accomplished
|
| Joanna,
Punit, Guillermo and I will try to eestablish a MISM Student Assembly
at least once a semester. It is very important for the program to
create a common awareness of the MISM students of the issues and
problems we are facing. This meeting should provide a chance to bring
up these issues and discuss with all students. |
done
at least once every semester
|
| We
want to bring faculty and students together. Sonal, Joanna, Punit,
Guillermo and I will try to set up faculty lunchs, where we invite
members of the faculty to come to the 3rd floor student lounge and
mingle with MISM students. |
done
in Spring 2003, trying to repeat in fall
|
| Save
a tree!! I am strongly interested in reducing the waste of
energy at HBH. This includes but is not limited to not printing class
notes
(and if, 6-slides on one page and double-sided), printing everything
double-sided, taking waste paper as scratch paper, turning off lights
when I leave in the evening, turning off the AC if nobody is in the
room.... |
failed,
no interest from students' and administration's side
|
| Make
life a little easier for MISM students in introducing simple principles
of time management. Get your schedule together as early as possible in
the semester, put all of your meetings, homeworks, assignment, tests,
vacation trips, lectures, leisure activities into a calendar tool (I
personally
use Outlook, but there is Corporate Time, Yahoo! Calendar...).
Additionally, not each assignment contributes equally to your learning
(and to your grade), use the 80/20 rule (use 20% of your time to solve
80% of the issues, the rest is peanuts) and most important:
PRIORITIZE!!!!! and that includes having social events and leisure
activities as a very important part of your well-being!!!! |
failed

| I am
always interested in increasing the marketability of the MISM program.
First, I want to make an impact on this year's recruiting and second, I
want to make a long-term impact on the value of the MISM program and
the opportunities students will gain from attending it. |
multiple
efforts, but most failed, marketing video and CD-ROM should show up in
fall
|
| This
is more than just grades and academic learning. I already have made a
lot of new friends and I hope that by the end of this semester I know
the majority of the students. I am up for any party, movie, luncheon,
sport, hang-out.... |
I just
say PDC

Tasks
started Fall 2003
|
|
The MISM program has grown out
of the demand for IT professionals and for providing people in the
industry with a 1 year brush up course in cutting edge technology and
management practices. Looking at the changes in the economiy and the IT
industry in particular, this premise doesn't hold anymore. I and Punit
have been pushing for a strategy reevaluation of the program by the
administration in cooperation with the student representatives.

started (first meeting with MISM
Committee members at the end of September 2003)
