Laptop Use
Students in Weatherhead's full-time MBA program are required
to have network-ready laptop computers. Because it is a required part of the
MBA course of study, the cost of a laptop may be included in a student's financial
aid budget.
Although no other degree program requires that students have laptop computers, some strongly suggest it. Weatherhead faculty have incorporated computer-based exercises
into the curriculum for years -- now, many are using computers to enhance classroom
lectures and other in-class activities. Most faculty will encourage use of laptops in class for note taking, file access, presentations, etc.
In recognition of the increasing use of laptops by Weatherhead
students, ITG and the Weatherhead School are committed to providing assistance
and support for students' laptops as follows:
- Switched gigabit Ethernet connections in all Peter B. Lewis
Building classrooms, offices, study areas, meeting rooms, seminar rooms and
other common areas, and
- Pervasive wireless network access points in PBL, Dively and
Wolstein Hall.
