Caught up with School

What a relief now that I have finally completed and submitted 3 assignments today. First to be completed was a case analysis for 15.011 - Economic Analysis for Business Decisions. I resent this case study due to the fact that the solution to the case was due the day after the case study was announced. My team, which consists of Heesung, Kostas, and me, scrambled to get the case study done on time last night. We finally turned it in earlier this morning. The case study isn't tedious but it would be nice to be given more time to do the case study.

Other assignments done today include the Technology Policy assignment and the System Assignment opportunity set. Don't ask me why it is called opportunity set? I am just as baffled as you are. Apparently, from one source, System Architecture opportunity sets are opportunities for students to impress the professor.

Being out-of-town last weekend during one of the busiest period of the semester was a serious setback in my school schedule. I am really thrilled that I have finally got a chance to relax after today's submission of assignments.

It's called an opportunity set because it is an OPPORTUNITY not a PROBLEM (his emphasis, not mine). It is your chance to show how smart you are, not that there are problems.

Yeah, it's ridiculous.

How did you like the OS1 assignment? Did you learn much from it? ;)

OS1 (Opportunity Set 1) wasn't bad. I got to critique the product development process and organization structure of the company where I work, and I realized how dysfunctional the company is in product development.
