How to Succeed and Fail at Ivey...

Anonymous Alumni recollection:

Ivey taught me:

- stop being a passive observer
- become a creative active/action person
- stop blindly following others, letting others make the decisions
- actively design my own career and my career moves

How to FAIL:

- Listen much, speak little
- Let others do the talking in the learning team
- Socialize with friends not classmates
- Rely on Career Services alone to find you a job

- Do not take risks; speak only if you are absolutely sure
- Don't contact a professor if you do not understand the subject
- There is nothing to talk about in Accounting class; it is all #s
- Relax on Fridays; 15 cases a week is too many

How to SUCCEED AT IVEY:

- Participate in class
- Participate in class
- Participate in class

- Make a decision on the case issue
- Be prepared for each class
- Attend each class
- Participate in each class discussion
