Team Work and ERBA Revolt

I paid the price of "goofing-off" last weekend as I started working on the assignment from hell - Engineering Risk-Benefit Analysis (ERBA) assignment #4. With 8 hours spent sketching the product concepts for Product Design & Development the prior night, I was further delayed in working my ERBA homework. Furthermore, when the best of minds in class were publicly confessing that they were having difficulty in doing the homework, I became even more worried. But being indoctrinated in the values of teamwork during our SDM orientation, a few of us got together 12 hours prior to the submission of assignment and put our minds in solving the problem set. Thanks largely to Matt and Dave, the collective efforts was a huge success. We completed the entire assignment, including heinous problem #4, in 9 hours. So far, much of my experience in team-based exercises at MIT SDM program has been positive. I am definitely an advocate of team collaboration.

Now, let's talk ERBA. It's not surprising that the last assignment had generated a lot of impromptu discussion among my fellow SDM students about the class. Many voiced that there is little practicality of the topics being taught so far and a few insisted that the class content was poorly delivered to the students. My argument for ERBA has always been that the concepts taught in ERBA help engineers/managers to make better decisions in systems applications through the use of probability and statistics. Moreover, how can we leave MIT without getting slaughtered by Math? But I do agree with John who argued that the delivery of lecture and recitation has room for improvement.

I am loving the music from Crowded House and the Finn Brothers even more now that I have been listening to their music since last weekend. Also, with ERBA assignment out of the way, I can finally watch the Daily Show tonight.
