Enrollment
By ET
Dr. Percy Dias Just came to my office and told me about the enrollment for IS majors. We had 105 students this year, a big increase from last year’s 40 something. Our total capacity is about 110, so this can’t really get any better. This is excellent news to me and probably so to the other two professors of ISMT101.
Due to enrollment issues, we had various resource problems in the past few years. Without a better mechanism, the government and the school simply allocate resources according to student head counts. Now this issue is gone. James and Percy can have good sleeps, and I shall be foreseeably happily left along to do my research for the next 7 months.
To the students, I guess they are making a good and informed (“informed” because of our hard work in teaching) choice. If you ask me to choose from Accounting, Marketing, IT, Finance, Management and Strategy, Economics to find the most useful major in a business school, I would probably tell you that combining IT and Finance, or IT and Marketing are the best choices.
I really spent huge amount of time on this course and tried to make it useful and fun. I guess the hard work just paid off.
My folder for this course grew to more than 6GB, filled with all sorts of materials I planned to use in classes. Now I can’t even fit everything on a DVD for archiving. Anyway, I enjoyed teaching so far, and the students should have enjoyed my course. That’s all what matters.
