More than 900 first-year students in the Technology & Operations Management (TOM) class are challenged to consider some big questions around climate change. They are asked to reflect on these questions and challenges, write and post their responses to an open blog, and consider the input and additional insights of their peers by reading and responding to their blog posts. Students come together in class to participate in a dynamic exchange, and ultimately leave informed, impassioned, and committed to helping solve this critical challenge. |
