Although Wharton has had a presence in San Francisco for more than ten years now, the schools Bay Area outpost for executive education has had a relatively low profile. Wharton seeks to change that with a recent rebranding and a move to a new space that gives the program significantly more room than it had before. Wharton | San Francisco has relocated to the historic Hills Plaza building on the Embarcadero, taking over a space that feels less like that of an East Coast business school and more like a Bay Area tech startups offices.
The first class enrolled at Wharton West (as it was then known) in August, 2001. The dot-com meltdown, which was well under way at that point, surely came at a bad time for the fledgling program, but Wharton persevered.
It’s common to assume American popular culture leads only to mindless escape, but in a recent speech to Communist Party officials President Hu Juntao of China warned that American popular culture might have a much more dangerous effect. He noted that Transformers 3 was a top-grossing film in China and also that the songs of Lady Gaga were as popular as those of any Chinese singer. Hu suggested the United States and other nations are westernizing and dividing China as he spoke and pop cultural works were weapons in this onslaught. Hu urged the Chinese to understand the seriousness of the struggle for Chinese cultural integrity and to always “sound the alarms and remain vigilant.”
Perhaps Hu is exaggerating the dangers, especially with regard to the fundamental aspects of Chinese culture. It’s hard to imagine Transformers 3 doing much damage to Confucian ethics or the Chinese sense of community and solidarity. However, Hu is correct when he suggests popular culture can and routinely does promote certain values and modes of behavior. It is highly normative. Popular
I recently ran some workshops to prepare students to be peer mentors and to mentor younger students with Kodu. The method I suggest is to have mentors show students some small steps and then let the students try. The latest version of Kodu has some really nice step by step lessons that students can do on their own or with a peer. After a lesson we encourage the students to try the same things on their own from where the lesson leaves off. For example adding a second character and having that character do something similar but slightly different from what was done in the lesson. I also encourage students to explore a little as well. They keep discovering things and sharing them with partners or others in the class. The general pattern of show a few things followed by experimentation with those things and repeat seems to work very well.
It can’t be all lecture/demo or students get bored. <
In a self-directed course, you can start and stop whenever you like, progressing entirely at your own pace and going back as many times as you want to review the material.
Ethics is part of a journalist’s craft as much as interviewing, writing, editing, photography and design. It’s a skill you can learn and hone.
This course will help you identify, understand and practice ethical decision-making before you’re faced with a tough call on deadline. It will also give you the confidence to meet that challenge.
At Poynter’s NewsU, we take ethical decision-making seriously. That’s why you’ll find so much rich content in this course.
