Summary of Mid Term feedback: D lab Supply Chains


What aspects of the class do you like or value?
• Cases and applications
• In-class simulations, and games
• Small size and interactive nature of class
• Variety of projects


What aspects of the class do you do not like or value?
• What we learn is difficult to translate into assignments and the projects
• The few lectures we have had are dry


What could be better? What improvements would you suggest?
• I like to hear more from Jarrod
• Having written assignments for cases might make students think more about cases
• More of a link to how what we learn could impact developing countries
• I would like to be more prepared for problem sets; classes help me learn but problem sets are quite challenging to grasp.
• Update the schedule online
• Send reminders of upcoming assignments and deadlines

Video of Goldratt - The Hike

I meant to send this out after the class session discussing The Goal. This is the YouTube link for the video of The Hike that Steve mentioned. I particularly like the unpacking session when Herbie proclaims, "I like my Beefaroni."
