Jay and I never cease to be impressed by the variety of ways our colleagues teach OM at their schools. Some profs spend 2 weeks on LP, others focus on quality and process strategy, while others actually cover all 17 chapters in sequence! We thought you might be interested in how different schools using our text face that challenge. So today we share 4 OM syllabi with you from a wide variety of schools. Here they are:
Temple University, taught by Howard Weiss, as an undergrad course. MSOM 3101 syllabus. You might note Howard’s use of Excel OM, POM, and MyOMLab in homework assignments.
Texas Tech University, taught by Phillip Flamm, as a large section undergrad course. ISQS 3344 syllabus. Phillip makes extensive use of “clickers” in his classes, as he noted in his Guest Blog last week.
Washington State University, taught by Chuck Munson, as an undergrad course. Mgt Op 340 syllabus. Note how Chuck integrates The Goal and MyOMLab into his course.
Rollins College, taught by Barry Render, as an MBA core course. POM 503 syllabus. You will notice that I have a lot of guest speakers. I use MyOMLab for pre-class quizzes, homework, and tests. Because it is a graduate class, there are cases assigned every week.
We invite you to share your OM syllabus with us as well. Just send it as a Word file or as an internet link to brender@cfl.rr.com.
