We have less than two weeks to go in the summer semester so things are officially ‘hectic’. I can’t believe the time has passed so quickly. It seems like only days since I dusted off my Voltron trapper keeper and my Scooby Doo lunch box and went to my first day of class. Fast forward eight weeks and this is what’s left for final projects:
- A final systems optimization project including a ten page paper and fifteen minute presentation.
- An operations management presentation based on the experience of one of my team members. We have to evaluate the scenario on leadership, business process, and feedback mechanism.
- A competition for our statistics class where teams of students have to use design of experiments methods to maximize the hang time and landing accuracy of a paper helicopter.
- A final exam for statistics class.
- A final team evaluation paper for the performance of our summer team.
- A final process improvement assignment for high velocity organizations class where I have to evaluate a situation at my prior place of work and determine how it could be improved.
That all wraps up on August 18th and you can be sure our class will have some steam to let off. I’m looking forward to the party but until then I will be finding out how much sleep I really need to function. If my next blog post includes something like “ahdf;ldsajlfkdasdfhioew” you’ll know I passed out and my head landed on the keyboard.
