有新生想要買IF Program的書嗎？

剛到美國時買書真的很讓人頭大，因為貴到不行阿...(後來就麻痺了@@")

我的課本是2008年IF Program用的版本，不知道和今年的一不一樣。如果有人有興趣的話，我就便宜賣啦~~

意者請來信給Mongol: mongol.mongol@gmail.com

祝福大家暑假愉快~

經驗分享 MBA: IF program (International Fellows Program)

昨天看到有Japanese applicant 來參觀學校 不自覺想起2008年5月來到Claremont時的情形

這才發現還沒有寫過有關IF program的事情 而現在或許是最適合寫的時間點

因為正逢很多新生正在猶豫要不要參加這個課程的時候

IF program是Drucker MBA program 為了 TOEFL成績不到 IBT 100分的國際學生所提供的語言課 我參加的時間是2008年5月 整個課程分為兩個module, 大致上是六月份一個module, 七月份一個module

課程內容包含聽說讀寫 文法 發音 口說 會話 簡報

主要是為了MBA的國際學生設計 所以課程內容也被設計成以business English為主

就我自己參加的經驗 我覺得這個課程品質相當不錯

老師都很有經驗(Pitzer College的老師) program本身已經存在好幾年 所以每年也都有改善

這邊的老師對國際學生很瞭解也很有興趣 可以幫助台灣學生很快速融入這邊的生活

而不致於整天只待在家裡說中文 尤其 因為參加的還會有其他國家的國際學生 (主要是日本同學)

所以還蠻容易在MBA正式開始前交到一些朋友 對於第一個學期的融入會有很大幫助

缺點: 貴!

每年這個program的學費應該多多少少有點變化

不過應該算是數一數二貴的語言課程

雖然有很多其他的附加價值 個人也覺得因為這個program, 已經忘記了的英文有又回來不少

尤其口說部分 多兩個月的練習 真的差別很大

但是 這學費真的很貴 或許是讓人忘之怯步的主因

基本上 我還是推薦這個課程

尤其對於自己的語言能力信心不足的新生

參加這個program雖然不能保證什麼 但是一定會有幫助

尤其提前兩個月來美國 把所有雜事都先搞定

學期開始應該也會比較快進入狀況

RSM Exchange Program-5. Others

1. Here is the comment from another student who came to RSM before. Again, this is only for reference.

I took e-Marketing course from a Canadian prof. It was intense, a 1 week course, 6 hours per day; but if its OK for you, I enjoyed it a lot. Also, negotiation course was OK, it was a bit boring but if you like negotiation, you may take that one. I also took, Supply Chain, International Investment, Future of Advertisement, Consumer Behavior courses. I wouldn't recommend Int. Investment, but all others are good. Consumer Behavior was also enjoyable, and easy.

2. Life in Rotterdam.

RSM will hold an orientation for exchange students. Just remember: BLAAK Market is the best place to buy fruit and vegetable.

3. Commend

I think it was a good opportunity to extend my vision, so I applied for this program. And I DID learn and enjoy it a lot. It was a nice and unique experience to stay in Europe alone for 4 months for me.

RSM Exchange Program-4. Course Evaluation

1. Innovation Management, Professor Shlomo Maital

Well, I think the professor is a nice and kind guy. He shared some interesting videos about entrepreneurship during the class. (cases and speeches) But I will recommed CGU classmate sending me a e-mail for detailed info if he/she is interesting in this course.


2. Consumer Behavior, Professor Peeter Verlegh

This course is good. Prof. Verlegh is a young and energetic person who shows you a lot of passion and energy in the class. People who want to concentrate on marketing can consider to take this course.


3. E-Marketing, Professor Michael Parent

This course is interesting. We need to read two cases for each session in 7 straight days but the professor handle the discussion very well. I will recommed people who are interesting in marketing to take this course because they will need to know the jargons and tools in the new business world.


4. The Future of Advertising in a Changing Media World, Professor Annet Aris

Also very intereting course. Prof. Aris asked people in this course to "vote" for a question and then discuss that question during that class. After discussion, there was a guest speaker to give us some specific topics for the future of advertising. Those topics and guest speakers are from 4 main perspectives- consumers, media company, media agency, and advertisers.

For example, in session 7, we needed to vote for a queston "Google will be able to diversify its revenue away from search (adword and adsense) significantly (>25% of total revenue) within the coming 3 years." After discussion, prof. Aris invited people from google to give us their opinion from the perspective of media company.

5. International Finance, Professor Anoop Rai

Highly recommed to those who are interesting in finance, even if you don't have any financial background. Prof. Rai used very easy language to explain complex financial tools such as Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS), Credit Default Swaps (CDS). I learned lots of useful tools and knowledge from this course.

6. Strategic Value Management, Professor Murray J. Bryant

Highly recommed to those who are interesting in strategy. This course is like a changing management course. We discussed how to react and develop in a shifting environment. Prof. Bryant was highly involved in all the cases discussed in the class. Therefore, he gave us very specific and useful comment in the discussion.
