During orientation everyone is assigned a team of up to five members. Additionally, the Team Kelley concept of collaborative learning was so heavily stressed during orientation that most students started off the year with a team mentality. It's not poet friendly. We distinguish students along a continuum ranging from quant jock to poet. The poets are people without business or quantitative backgrounds.
Quant jocks are students who love to crunch the numbers.
Although the KSB uses a cross-functional teaching approach in each class, it somehow always leads back to number crunching, so poets beware. For the first few weeks, core concepts are taught such as accounting, finance, quant, and economics. Thereafter, business situations are taught using multiple disciplines. For example, if we are learning how to evaluate new business ideas, we may have a marketing professor, a strategy professor, a finance professor, and a technology professor teach the subject, thus capturing the many disciplines of a complete decision. Classes are not designed for the slacker.
