Seminars
The management department has two additional programs aimed specifically at doctoral students: Our Excellence in Teaching Program and our Research Workshop Series.
Excellence in Teaching
This program is designed to provide the student with all the skills necessary to become an accomplished management instructor. First, we have monthly seminars in teaching excellence, given by our departmental faculty, visiting scholars, or other relevant parties. These seminars are focused on specific topics in teaching, such as case teaching, simulation teaching, experimental methods in teaching, or various policy issues.
Second, the new instructor is teamed with a faculty member, who works with that individual for a minimum of one year. During that year, the faculty member is responsible for attending at least one class per semester adn critiquing the student's teaching. The mentor is also available for advice throught the year.
Rearch Workshop Series
This program brings accomplished scholars to campus each year for a one day visit. During the scholar's visit, s/he gives one formal academic presentaion and one informal discussion aimed primarily at career management of publishing issues, although some have addressed teaching issues as well.
