Our class' biggest feedback this year was the lack of time/space devoted to peer-to-peer learning, which were for me the highlights. I would also agree that the side projects were the ones that did the best. In cases where those turned into team projects, there was much greater success...but this was rare for a few reasons: there was no time for a lot of unstructured discussion, and it was hard finding the right students to collaborate with (again a time issue).<br /><br />Even though I am an American and a Californian, I also had significant culture shock at SU. The alpha-male/female mentality was overwhelming and very off-putting. Several of my classmates felt the same way. And this was MOST obvious during the team projects stage...when many teams broke up constantly and reformed. I know several people who got very stressed during that time. In general, the program did a poor job of managing the alpha personalities...who were very disruptive in class and averse to group collaboration.<br /><br />Food was also a significant problem for those with dietary restrictions, particularly anyone who ate kosher, halal, vegetarian or vegan food. Hopefully they will be a bit more mindful as they start to let in more international students from Asia, the Middle East and Africa.<br /><br />And I would agree that they did a poor job of taking care of their international students. I do think they have tried in some ways to mitigate that: they now have a mandatory sexual harassment and cultural training session, and they have culture nights. I also think that "Launch Week" helped address questions of immigration and such. But beyond that, in the everyday culture of the program, there is a lack of cultural sensitivity: in terms of food (see previous paragraph) and drink (heavy emphasis on drinking alcohol), a curriculum that centers almost entirely on the history and developments within Europe and North America, and a lack of acceptance of religious or cultural philosophies that weren't western.pragzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253181117038860656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208433616422614307.post-56241956986626682602012-10-23T12:24:14.971-07:002012-10-23T12:24:14.971-07:00@Luke, thanks for your comments.

By the end of SU you won't be an expert in every one of the ten or so fields covered, but you will be conversant in a lot more of them, and able to work collaboratively with people who are experts in other fields out of the ten than the ones you are already an expert in. Highly recommended, and probably life-changing if you give it 110%. (N.B.: You won't sleep much for about 10 weeks, and you might come out of SU running a startup unexpectedly.)Luke Hutchisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07119186060702104432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208433616422614307.post-89691218841058628572011-08-31T03:59:55.250-07:002011-08-31T03:59:55.250-07:00Well look at that how much water got wasted on roa...Well look at that how much water got wasted on roads after such a rainfall if their is still shortage of water in the city than government should take some serious steps for having water harvesting system get installed on state level and providing citizen some affordable means to collect water.Water filtershttp://superwall.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208433616422614307.post-86516389838766428482011-07-21T13:55:46.352-07:002011-07-21T13:55:46.352-07:00Very nice.
