I think at the end of the day, ET does not typify or generalize the financial sector and its markets. I don't think you will disagree with this.
LOL
Yes, on this we fully agree

In case anyone hasn't caught on, this is complete, incoherent, nonsense. It's just nouns strung together with bits of random verbs.
What video?
FYI.
Wharton deploys its famous approach in two ways.
the acusations you (student) make about me (faculty) are the norm and rampant.
Staff usually groups as partnerships. These partnerships carry out problem solving and, as a consequence, often the packages become study material in the courses that use the famous Wharton approach.
The best video, since you only remember one, is the solving of the relationship of "targeting" Vs research. As you will see it involved a big greenish building very near Betty Crocker St.
If you just wish lighter fair; look at the TV offering called "The Paper Chase". Here you see the wizardry of faculty (me) and briefly present students (you) playing their roles to get the students through the gaultlet of learning critical thinking to solve future real problems.
As you say you were at Wharton and know your way around.
If you read the Penn daily, you would know that the "man in the street" was often interviewed regarding the "news" at Penn. One scupture drew such attention and I was caught in the act of looking at it.
The roving reporter scooped up soime of my nouns and adjectives and poured them into a column with a title. My credentials were also noted. It generated some humor at UCSC and everyone figured out where my secret lunching spot was.
Give guess and see if you can figure out where I snacked. Think of where a predictor (casey) said the key the the Mayan lauguage and numeration would be found.
also what limitation does this mathematics involve for entire civilizations? Like why you guys can't figure out the holy grail or how to get educated to be equipped to succeed in getting filty rich.

Got any proof of your faculty status? No? Didn't think so. You can shut me up pretty easily if you have any proof to offer at all. And if you know anything about wharton, you'd know the wharton approach is to get doctorate students to TA classes on the cheap.
Still have no clue what is this "video" you are talking about. And there is no Betty Crocker St in Philly. If you dispute this, you can go right ahead and give us a google map link.
I get the feeling that you are either the biggest troll around here, or you are extremely unwell.

Yes, I was a card carrying faculty member. Pic and all. I'm going to assume you never saw a faculty card. Numbers were assigned the usual way. enough clues????
If I were going in the faculty lounge at Penn and you were guarding the entrance, you might have gotten to see it. Or maybe if you were conducting me to an assigned racquetball court you could have seen it before I changed into my costume.
Actually, the Wharton gem is the case study method.
Other readers of my post knew I was telling you where the HQTRS was of the corporation in the case study that dealt with the juxstiposition of setting targets and doing research (financially speaking). Betty Crocker ST is in the same commercial development portion of that famous city (not Philly). General Mills does not have greenish buildings.
My humor is a little dry.
edgar Casey was famous for naming Penn as the place where the key to the Mayan "discontinuity" would be discovered and moreso the Key to the Bermuda Triangle. Penn has a terrific museum and it does focus on the Mayans (So does the Berlin Museum).
Orient to walking on campus. Go from my office on 36th and market to the cental campus avoiding the western reaches of Drexell U. sneak through the archealogy museum and arrive at the little sandwich shop before you get as far as the Penn Hospital complex.
TA's may have been at the head of your classes but there are other settings. Sitting around large conference tables is also common. And it is intense. My expectation was participation if I glanced at the person and NO BS ever spoken EVER. Most of the time I wanted the next sequential question put on the table. There would be a heirarchy of Q's.
TA's were there to get the Q's listed so students could do what?
LOL... you may not have had the expereince of getting your work back where the TA (who grades your homework for the guy running the sessions) poiinted out to you that you didn't get your answers in the correct heirarchy of the Q's.
So it was like ping pong. Answers completed from a prior meeting's (lol not classes) formed the basis for getting the case forwarded by considering the next Q's going toward the solution(s).
Wharton used vicarious experiences in case studies to bring out what George Plimpton defined in his book "the X Factor". Obviously, george Plimpton couldn't beat Bush in horse shoes, but he did get to spend weekends with Bush at Camp David after he bought a cowboy hat. He sold a lot of books describing his relations with heavy hitters.
Do you have a five star Stetson? Plimpton bought one.
I got married while in Philly; I hired the pick of the litter of the first women grads from Princeton (an Economic Psych major). Sometimes she dropped into classes. Later she became the Ida Greene Fellow at Tech. I opened a branch office in Arlington. and a hershey got a grad degree for MIT. LOL.. she only let me attend a few classes since she didn't want others to think she didn't do her own work....LOL..
Once a colleague (faculty member who was part of an LLC billed me for riding around with me on jobs during one month (47K). His partners made him do it after he asked if he could be a fly on the wall.
i spent 1200 bucks for a court session. The first Q was: "Don't I know you from somewhere?" the judge asked the Q. the faculty member lost his side job as dorm counsellor and was made a TA. by keeping faculty status he could still be an llc partner; his buddies learned a lesson.
I said why the judge recognized me and told him his postion at the time. I was an expert witness for the judge when he was the DA for the county.
I am trying to keep this light and humorous but you are playing quite the heavy. Did you make your "instructors" prove they were faculty members, too?
Wharton is tough for students to get into. Wharton contracts with a lot of big time companies to help those companies solve their problems. the problem solvers are not students as a rule.
most of students can recognize their work is important and that the methodology is the driver for a student to become able to apply inherent talents.
So you work for some organization and they pay you or do profit sharing? Are you fees and commission based?
At Wharton, the sophomoric truism that "those who can't do, teach" is not in vogue. Wharton is a place where very talented persons go to learn and realize the potential of their talents.
