REGISTRATION INFORMATION:
The Spring 2013 class is full. It was oversubscribed during MIT
pre-registration. Students notified
before the course begins are de-registered and encouraged to register for
another class or try again next year.
This is a graduate class for MIT
students including MBA, LGO, MEngMfg, and other
graduate students. A separate PDD class
is offered for SDM students (ESD.40), which may also be open to students in
other programs.
Students
must register for the course for grades; the MIT P/D/F grading option is not
allowed for this course.
To balance the class, a certain number of seats are filled by MBA, LGO, and Engineering students.
In Spring 2014, all MIT students will
be required to register under 15.783J and to participate in the Sloan bidding
process. This will hopefully maintain
the target balance and give priority to graduate students in their final
year. Students wishing to register under
2.739J or ESD.32J to get engineering elective credit for the class may change
their registration after the course begins.
RISD students register for the course
through the RISD ID department.
