Half-Empty, Half-Full

We've reached the halfway point in the semester, and things are still going great. This is, of course, a stressful time in the semester for students and faculty alike - assignments, mid-terms, and project deliverables all seem to converge during this time. But it is also a good time to stop (but for just a few minutes, since we have so much to do) and reflect on where we are in our journey.

Our students have come very far, and are entrenched in the hands-on application of technology and business concepts that will help them achieve a higher level in their understanding of information systems. Our faculty members have helped students along the path, and now (as always) face the challenge of assessing student progress, making sure everyone is ready for the next step, and guiding students in the right direction to meet the learning objectives of each course and of the MIS program. Between now and December, students will continue to build on the foundation laid so far, integrating their learnings to meet increasingly complex challenges. And at the end of the semester, they will look back on what they learned, see how far they have come, and look forward to the next leg on their journey.
