Take a Seat in the Harvard MBA Case Classroom

Underrated comment

so fucking true

love the comment

Most people find they hated the teachers of the subjects they hated. So how often were we repelled from a subject because the teacher repelled us? This is perhaps why online teaching is much better in some ways: You can choose the teacher (in a good system). Some people just rub us the wrong way. Its hard to counteract. And a student shouldn't have to. Their education is just so much more important. Never let personality interfere with your learning. Life is too short for that and we have a lot of problems to solve.

1st comment

I stopped listening to my teachers this year. It was the best idea I had. I have rules tho to get a great knowledge on your own: be passionate/curious in everything that can help you achieve your rational but still idealistic goal, work everyday but not a lot of hours just a few like 2 or 3 hours then stop and practice what you learnt some days later. And finally listen only to certified people not those dummies that give their opinion, just the facts. For example, i stopped maths last year because i thought it was boring but now that I have a goal it is all different. I was not passionate about it maybe because my teachers were cold hearted and only cared about the pay check. It is an hobbie now to learn maths, i learn more efficiently and faster because i don't have strict rules to follow and i found good resources that are interesting. Plus stop toxic habits like eating fast food, a lot of sugar... Do some sports, go to sleep early, stop going out with superficial people. Those easy things can really change your life on the long term. It's a good investment. Do not fall for the easy traps of pleasure and the environment around you.

So true!

Absolutely agree. During highschool I absolutely hated my anatomy and physiology classes, mainly blaming it on my general dislike of memorisation heavy subjects. I ended up studying medicine and excelling in said classes, developing a deep passion for understanding the ins and outs of the human body only then did I realize the difference in my professors. My highschool professor would sit and just read from the book, showing up late to class and for the most part refusing to answer questions, she wouldn't address us or even notice if someone was missing from class and during exams you could easily pull out your phone and cheat. My university professor stressed the importance of knowing anatomy and physiology, she gave us the reasons for knowing it and how valuable it will be not only during other subjects in our course but once we enter the world as physicians and take care of our patients. Every time she would show up for class you could see that she fully believed what she said and was willing to push us to see it with the same passion.

I hated anything math related back in hs and there was this month wherein our professor was temporarily changed nd in that month, no, in the first 2 days that the sub prof came in i realized that math was actually fun & i looked forward to it everyday. Profs do matter. I excelled in Sci back in hs but on my last year science was my lowest subject simply because the prof wasnt as good as tbe one who taught me throughout hs. just sharing. :D

i wish i could understand what she is talking about ... my english is to bad to understand this.

And I have promised myself that I am going to be one of those professors. Just 3 more years of waiting and working.

We called these business case Studies. In my classes the students did most of the talking which in my opinion is the idea because it brings out their creativity. The professor joined then every now and then when he thought it was necessary. I learned a lot from this course. The subject matter provided its own energy.

why marketing? It's harvard

@@Ghostrider-xc2hgCoca cola has marketing. Mcdonald’s has marketing. Reputation does not negate the need for marketing. And this video IS obviously marketing. But the professor is not putting on a show. The opposite is more likely to be true - that she was chosen for this video as a result of her energy.

and wouldn't you know it? Harvard, the best university in the world, has the best teachers in the world.

You believe too much in appearances. Quite american.

It's not luck.. Most of them worked really hard to reach Harvard

I don't think its luck they worked hard for it

@@arjumandayub9049 missed the point, he said they are lucky to have a good teacher. He did not say they are lucky to be at Harvard . U can work hard and get to Harvard and still get a bad teacher.

​@@DW11111 they are pretty much racist as fuck in america

This is so true ... you learn so much through just communicating with people in society. But students must also be willing to participate.

Totally agree

it is a graduate class. at that level it is more conversation and less teaching.

@@Icecube88 thank u for taking some sense here

Seriously, you're such an inspiration

Thanks for leaving this inspiring and encouraging comment here.

Same. Introvert doesnt equal shy. For me it just means I get exhausted from social interaction a bit faster than someone who's extroverted, especially if it's shallow, although i love it sometimes. But I thrive in constructive discussions like this

Me too

Usually introverts just don’t like small talk but are fine with deep, stimulating conversations

For sustainability it would be an advantage. Usually, people think too much on the short term. Business education is often too much short term thinking.

@@nanashipersonne4151 So you're sayin' it's all about the sustainability of profit? And any heart stuff is a means to an end? You're trying to kill two birds with one stone. Might work, but more likely one needs prioritizing over the other as they're inherently in conflict. That means policy needs to flexibly fit the situation. How is that possible if the policy is written from above? Should the workers make policy? Standard procedure would continue operations while someone investigated. Better would stop the operation and have the CEO fly down with her own interpreter to interview workers to find the problem and solution. Can't use a local interpreter as the workers would not trust them. I'd guess the CEO would learn all about everything allowing her to elevate safety, satisfaction, and profit. Would get to know the people too; every CEO should know the people underlying her operation.

Och you, come on, little pet.

I think she only approached students who raised their hands, So you won't be caught off guard

Hahaha, that's what I am thinking. This 10 minutes gave me anxiety and sweaty palms.😫😨😓

Lol, well to be fair this is a Masters class...at that level there is no such thing as stage fright tbh

This isn't an introvert thing, it's a shy person thing.

Very true

And Harvard has the very best teachers in the world.

Much too much drama. Your taste buds should scream.

I really hope not every teacher at Harvard is like her. I really hope nobody else is like that

@@boringmanager9559 why

I believe a lot of people want to learn, but these particular individuals are undoubtedly highly intelligent.

Education and qualifications doesn't determine your success. Work hard, think outside the box and invest. That's the keys to greatness.

Actually same. Lol

@Latrease Leah I graduated from UC Berkeley and took some classes at Stanford…best teacher I had was at a community college. My mom was a professor at Cal State Long Beach who received her PhD from Vassar. She was a lot like this professor…simply passionate about the subject with an actual love for teaching. Good professors like this can be found at every level of education. Many believe it’s the brand name of the university. Not true. The higher the university the more those professors usually have to publish and do research if on a tenure track, leaving less time for students.

I took local community college and had some passionate educators. They got me motivated to keep going

My favorite all-time teacher was at San Francisco State. I'm sure most people don't even know that's a school, but it's one of the better communications universities in the Bay Area. He loved teaching and the biggest part of his class was making sure he was engaging with us and we were engaging with each other. He probably taught at max half the class every time, the rest of the time was conversations. Best two classes I ever took, also the two hardest classes I ever took lol.

@@Simitachi My dad went to SF state and was an Apple Engineer in the 90s. It wasn't always as much about Ivy League as it is now.

@Latrease Leah yea that is exactly what ivy league schools want people to believe, because that is how they justify the high tuition bill. It simply isn't true. I mean I don't know about at the community college level but I do know for a fact there are amazing university professors who are not in the ivy league that are more effective than many of their ivy league counterparts.

Ur expectations are too high then

@@nobody7708 I don't think so his expectation is good for future

then every school would be Harvard lol

Bruh u still would've skipped

You sort of have to deal with the bad along with the good, it's called life. Not every class will be engaging.

I Love her ENERGY 🥰🥰🥰🥰 shes FIRE!!

She ducks

Thanks .... I COMPLETELY spaced out and didn't know what happened

?

Temporarily shut down or permanently shut down? Because I feel like if I was in that position, I'd temporary shut down the operation to do some investigations, it could be the site, it could be the equipment, etc and then proceed upon the result of the investigation before resuming the operation.

@@angcil88 temporarily of course

@@angcil88 that’s what I was also thinking

well, yea. its marketing.

Than pay the same at that level :)

OMG SO DIVERSE! YAS QUEEN

@@huytran9823 Hahaha. I thought so too. How can a professor do that every time in class? Nice marketing strategy though.

I would put my books in front of name printout lol

The truly educated person is the person who realizes they know nothing.

@@TechViking Since knowledge is endless 😄

You're are amazing. What an insight.🙏

Period.

What they do is called brainstorming, which is very effective for getting quick results, for problems that require quick decision making

I don't understand how people blame and insist that the teachers are driving the social atmosphere, this problem legitimately resides on the students shoulders, the engagement usually depends on the students interest in the subject.

This is grad school not elementary school. You go to this to learn how to manage groups of people - if you are not expressive, introverted to the point of not being able to participate in a conversation you are not ready to lead anyone. People will be coming to you for solutions right or wrong you have to think quick and make a choice. If you spend your time getting anxious about having to speak in front of folks who might disagree with you. Not sure what to tell you but you won't be running a good business or managing people well.

nah shes overrated... just mediocre at best..

True 😥😫

Excuse me for pointing out my view, I think that everybody needs a teacher who can see their talents and guid them to achieve that what they want. For everyone it's different and for somebodies she wouldn't be the right teacher.

if they get into harvard, point is if they got into harvard they are already pretty close

@@kiyanaak3269 you're goddamn right

gotta disagree. in high school i had an amazing legal teacher who was motivated just like this. she gave us so many resources, real life examples, tips to succeed in the subject yet so many students could care less about their education.

Go for it.

My ib history teacher is the exact opposite. Minimal conversation, and many PowerPoint slides

My high-school teacher was like that and unfortunately she left for retirement last year, right as I entered my senior year at the age of 81. I now plan to study History after my gap year all because of that wonderful woman.

@@blakemiller7906 that's how my IB Bio teacher is, I hate it so much

my IB psychology teacher is one and the same, truly my greatest blessing

you dont get doctors and professors to teach elementary subjects, unless they happen to be your parents.

@@helloeveryone0123 Yeah

@@helloeveryone0123 well you can get better than whats available now. If teachers were paid better and vetted with excellent grades and teaching ability then we wouldn't have a stupid society. Same goes for police

I totally agree. And I’m guessing here, but I think what you’re pointing out is not having doctors and professors teaching elementary subjects, but rather instilling a culture in the classroom of vulnerability, authentic engagement, comfort with failing and doing so with intention. That is something all grades desperately need.

@@TechViking qsQ

This is why they have to teach them at school… lol

The reason why she is a good teacher is because the students are paying so much money to be in her class they paid at least $25,000 to be at this college, so of course she's going to be a good teacher, after all you get what you pay for.

Sana all

In a well run MBA course there are no right or wrong answers. Simply participating on the topic at hand is enough… and everything else required in the course flows right along by doing that.

Same here

@@grimmygrinda3267 but the fact that she was chosen to be a teacher there means that she is a professional, so it's not only about the amount of salary that is given to her, but her own skills that she is paid for

Yeah me too

same and everyone saying this is ma dream class 😃

I too have a social anxiety, but sometimes with some people and certain topic I have fun engaging.. but not most of the time tho 🤣

I have so many opinions I want to share but I get too anxious talking in front of the class, perks of online schooling is I can use the chat and I don't see other people's face and they don't get to see mine if I don't want to show it. My teachers have the choice either they see my face but don't hear me talk or I don't show my face and I make the class 10 times more interesting for everyone

agreed. The guy who wanted to do the review was pushed into a "decision" for show. Vs getting to any detail about the fatality. Pretty quick analysis can determine if there's a systemic factor at play, be it culture, equipment maintenance, training, that necessitate a safety stand down - or if it's pretty clearly a one off that has more of a nudge solution to prevent in future.

@@brentdavidson1 The guy who wanted to do the review was *not* pushed into a 'decision' for show. She asked a second time, he stayed with wanting an investigation, she switched to "What are you learning in this investigation?" She asked for *exactly* the answer you just gave.

@@amina6489 hahahahaha

I agree. If the students are interactive enough, the teacher can maintain this sort of atmosphere where students are pushed through the limits and made to think about different possibilities of a situation. This makes students smarter and helps them grow personally and professionally.

This is what I love for being a teacher.

enabled by the teacher...

Totally enabled by the teacher. I was an introvert and wouldn't say a word in class until I met a teacher who encouraged me to. Now, I always look forward to contributing not minding the vulnerability. 100% on the teacher.

@@iamrising7176 Yes, enabling is definitely needed for this environment and there will always be students like you who are willing to open up to that enabling. But from a teacher's perspective, just like how students find different kinds of teachers, they also find that different classes have different collective nature. It will just depend on what mindset most of the students have. Some students are receptive while some are not, and in college level it's extremely difficult to give enough individuals attention to each student and employ what they are receptive towards. For a teacher, every class is different.

@@vidushisharma2695 Be harvard

Harvard doesn't have this type of learning everyday. It's a promotional video designed to engage with the viewer. I guarantee that most of the other MBA courses aren't this exciting to watch. A lot of work in everyday life is boring, but you still have to put in the time and effort to do it. You need to find something interesting about it. This is probably why most people don't want to go to class. You can't sit around and expect it to be as fun as a promotional RU-vid video like this. If you're better prepared for class and read the assigned reading or did the work before hand, you would probably find it more exciting that day. Most people don't do this.
