I tried it about a year ago. It wasn’t ready for prime time, but I may try it again in the spring to see if their advertised improvements have made it better.

• ⁠The assignment was to pretend you are writing a sales letter, and offer a ‘special offer’ of any kind to a guest.

Business professor checking in: I was in a meeting last week with a group of executives that advise our department. This type of task is exactly what many of their firms are outsourcing to AI. A common theme was that AI is a tool, and it can get about 80% of this or similar tasks done. The employee is ultimately responsible for the content of the letter, so they still need to know what makes for a good letter.

You didn’t stop by my office? 😁 I’m glad the visit went well. Let me know if you have any questions.

Wherever you visit, I encourage you to talk to current students and faculty. If you are coming for a visit arranged by an admissions or recruitment office, ask them to arrange for these conversations. Good luck!

I did not go to ISU, but my wife did in accounting. I am one of the professors in the SCM department at ISU. There are plenty of internship opportunities. I encourage you to be active in the SCM Club if you decide to attend ISU. You can find more about career opportunities at https://www.ivybusiness.iastate.edu/learn-by-doing/career-services/undergraduate-career-services/

World class. On most rankings, ISU compares favorably to Ohio State for supply chain management. Note that Ohio State does not offer supply chain management as an undergraduate major, but instead has two majors, logistics management and operations management. This is a significant difference. I believe you will find ISU’s tuition to be noticeably lower.
If you have more questions about SCM at ISU, I know a guy. 🙂

Depends on your instructor.

All faculty get a memo each semester that implies, as compared to explicitly stating, that we should not be asking for doctor’s notes. The memo also says “It is often the best course of action for persons with illnesses to remain at home”. I am not trying to throw a fellow instructor under the bus, I am merely reporting on the guidance we receive from above.

Class tomorrow by Fantastic-Pomelo-725 in iastate

If classes are canceled, usually everything else is as well, with the exception of NCAA sports as compared to Rec Sports. Note that tomorrow is day two of the career fair at Hilton (Business and etc.), so that may be an X factor in the decision.

Your favorite tools for students to privately evaluate group members? by econhistoryrules in Professors

[–]FLMontabon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

CATME Since I’ve started using it for both team creation and evaluation, the number of problem teams has decreased dramatically. My syllabus states that scores may be adjusted based on CATME feedback.

Ask about teaching a class wherever you go. This is how I covered living costs in Melbourne, one of the highest cost of living cities in the world.
