SUU ECON 6100 Blog

This blog was initiated by Dave Tufte, at the suggestion of students. It is a forum for SUU M.B.A. and M.Acc. students who have taken ECON 6100 to comment about the usefulness of this class for their other classes, degree, or career.


Only students who took ECON 6100 in 2004 were invited to post their thoughts here. There was no quid pro quo in that invitation.


I started this blog because students told me that this class is very worthwhile. Unfortunately, as an elective, this class does not have much of a constituency among the faculty to help guarantee that it will continue to be offered on a regular basis. I intend to show this blog to other School of Business faculty to make a case in support of this class.


Please do not view this opportunity as a way to support Dr. Tufte - I am only 1 of 3 people to have taught this class, and it is only 1 of 5 M.B.A. classes that I can reasonably be expected to teach at SUU. Also, don't use this as a forum to denigrate other professors or other classes.


Here are some suggestions (please feel free to expand upon this list). Was this class was more or less valuable than others you took? What did you learn that was so useful that you didn't learn in other classes? If you had to choose between this class and others that you took, how often would this class win (for example, ECON 6100 was better than half of my graduate classes)?


Please title your posts with either your name, or "anonymous".

GREAT CLASS!!! EVERY STUDENT SHOULD TAKE!!!

I really enjoyed Econ 6100. Tufte does a great job at explaining the tools and methods of excel. I use the information I learned quite often at work. I was actually given a job just yesterday that required me to organize a bunch of raw data onto an excel spreadsheet. I used what I learned in that class to help organize a document that impressed my boss! I think that all students should take this class. It will help them not only in school and their careers, but in their personal life as well. I highly recommend this class!!!
