WHAT DID I LEARN?

I think all semester along I learned interesting material. My 3 biggest lessons I would say are : the decision making and people’s behavior during the decision making, the power of vision and that vision without action is just a dream, and the organization design and the different type of the organization designs with their pros and cons. I didn’t really used the book that much I mostly studied from Wiley Plus and the slides on blackboard, but one thing that I remember from the book is the 4 I’s which are: improve, invest, incubate, and imagine. I think mostly what I remember about things said in class is the stories that the professor told us about his career, and the class activities that we did before every lecture. I think the professor managed the class pretty well; he used different management techniques to increase the feedback and tried always to involve everyone in the discussion. Overall the one think that I will never forget it will be the egg activity, because it was our first exercise of the class and it really challenged us during the entire process including the planning process. 

I personally had a great time in this class during the entire semester, and I thank the professor for all the effort he did to help us learn Management in the best way it exists.                HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

Motivation

This was by far the best class that I have taken at Baruch. The professor is really clear with the material and he uses different techniques that I think other professor need, to improve their teaching. Using the skill variety helped me a lot in understanding the different topics that were covered in this semester. The exercises before every lecture made me curious to attend the next class and see what the professor is going to talk about. Also I liked the way that professor allowed us to give feedback about everything: topics in class, about his teaching style, what we thought about the test and help him to improve the test format etc.

What motivated me the most is the rewards, and the way the professor was trying to meet our needs. Every time I got an extra credit for an exercise I got motivated and tried to participate more in the lecture. After the first exam the one most of the class did bad the professor was very generous in offering us to make a choice in what we going to do with our grades, weather to drop the lowest curve anything we wanted. I don’t think that any professor would allow that, and for that I thank Prof. Kurpis..Thank YOU!!

After all I don’t think that the professor needs to offer more for this class, because basically he gave us more than he should.
