15.071  The Edge: Decision Methodologies for Managers

Thank You & Goodbye

Since we were rushed for time today, I didn't get a chance to say a proper farewell.

You are a sharp, dynamic and fun group and I greatly enjoyed teaching The Edge this semester. Your project presentations were informative and succinct and I appreciate the hard work that's gone into the project deliverables.

Thank you for the lovely and thoughtful card you gave me at the end of class this morning. I am delighted and touched.

I have no doubt that you will go on to do great things this summer and beyond. All I ask is that you keep me posted on your accomplishments, particularly those with an Edge to them.

Best of luck!

Request for datasets

You all have spent a lot of energy and ingenuity in assembling datasets for the final project. I'd love for your efforts to "live on" after this semester. To that end, I request you to share your data with The Edge (if allowed within the bounds of confidentiality restrictions, of course).

My goal is to build a massive dataset library to serve as a resource for future 15.071 home-works, case studies and projects. Future Sloan Edgies (or Edge Sloanies, if you prefer :)) will thank you!

Let me know if you can share and we will figure out the most painless way to get the data transferred. Thanks in advance.
