As a teacher teaching managerial science, otherwise known as operational science, it can be worrying to know that after your students leave your classroom, they are no longer in your care. After all, there are so many questions about what they will do when they finish your course. Will they work on interesting projects? What will they do in the summer? What do they do with their free time? All these questions can worry a good teacher, but how much of this is the teacher’s responsibility?
Also on the teacher’s plate of things to be concerned with is how to make the course you teach more interesting and attractive to students, and how to make management or operations science a more essential part of business programs. Today many students’ attitude towards operational sciences is that it is an evil, albeit essential part of their education.
There is much that can be done to improve the situation and even make management science one of the most popular and even respected parts of studying business. It is possible, with the right attitude and ingredients to even attract the best and the brightest of the business students into the world of managerial science.
