Final Reflections on the course

DK

The presentations were yesterday and I would like to say I think every team did an amazing job on their presentations.  Way to go team Blue line, Silver line and Orange line.  Everybody made the class really fun.

When first going over the information I wasn’t really sure as how everything that was presented tied together, but the group project gave me the opportunity to see it in practice and to try the techniques out.  What made the project great was it was real life experience, not just a case that we read.  We got to visit the museums, the memorials, the mall and talk to visitors.  The project seemed rather daunting at first, given the length of the course, but I have to say my teammates really stepped up and made the project a whole lot of fun to do.  They were always upbeat during the class not matter what time of the day it was, or how lost I got us on the mall.  Working with them was a great experience from the start.

I am going to take everything that I learned throughout the 8 days of the class and hopefully be able to integrate some of the techniques into my organization.

A shout out to Professor Levy for making himself available whenever we had questions throughout the course and for all the hard work that we did not see in setting up the visit to Ritz-Carlton, the Big Bus, the baseball game and the dinners.  I would recommend his classes to anyone.

Now we just have to write the paper...

The only way to see Washington D.C.  At top the Big Bus all by yourself

(Residents of DC, VA and MD: You do not have to wait for out of town visitors to go and see the National Mall and the Memorials or the Smithsonian museums, you can go anytime.)
