That would be great, where is it?

Those who have taken this class earlier, please share your experience, in terms of classes, work, project and whether should take this class?

Also who is taking it this time?

Hey Shreyas, you ask Mike Hogsett. He took the class last year. I think Josiah did too.

Hi,
I would be starting MSIM this fall and was wondering if Info 481 is worth while. It seems interesting but it's in the undergraduate infomatics program. Don't want to take a course that is really easy and is not a value add. Would the imt 588 be a better option?

Also, has anyone taken the IMT 551 - Foundations Org IA course? . It's handled by Barbara Endicott.. Any inputs on the prof and course would eb great!

Thanks!

INFO 481 - Project Management for Informatics - is a 4th year course which can be taken by both advanced undergrads and by masters students and is accepted as part of the MSIM program. It takes students through all the basic PM principles and develops skills in MS Project s/w. In particular, you'll gain familiarity with the basic PM concepts such as work breakdown structures (WBS) and project schedules (network diagrams and critical paths), and learn how to use Microsoft Pro...

AIMS could fund/organize this.. they wouldn't be "AIMS" shirts, they'd be MSIM shirts (which we could use as a fundraiser to raise money for more MSIM events (like the BBQ)). I am definitely interested in pushing this on our agenda this year. I encourage interested students to come to the AIMS meetings and bring this topic up. I think there was even talk of having a t-shirt/hoodie/whatever design contest.

Hey guys, I am thinking about starting a Fantasy football league for our program. Just a low-key type league for fun. Is anyone interested or would it be a waste of time?

I'd say it might have been helpful to send this out via email. I would have been in...

Hey guys I came accross this talk while watching presentations about DEFCON. It is a little focused on Information Security but the beginning is focused on Job Hunting and has alot of good information. Here is the link, its kind of a big download so be patient. https://media.defcon.org/dc-16/video/Defcon16-Kushner-Murray-Career_Mythbusters.m4v

Sorry Guys I just realized that I posted this via Anonymous. It was actually posted by me Michael Hogsett.

Hi everybody,

I've heard parking is close to impossible in campus. I plan to drive on certain days ( probably abt 4 times/ week max). What do you guys suggest? Is getting the parking pass ( works out to abt 300$/ quarter) my only option for reliable parking? It seems a little too much to be paying for 2 yrs!

I used to park in the fenced area right next mgh and never got ticketed. Now it is torn down. My suggestion is if you see cars parking somewhere really convenient and it doesn't have a zone requirement, go for it until you get a ticket.

Is networking really that important? where do i find places to network?

some new resources from the iSchool.

I'm trying to learn as many tips and hacks as I can about how people are succeeding in grad school. I'm particularly interested in how people manage their email/calendar/deadlines/to do lists/notes, etc as well as other time management hacks/strategies. I'm a big Google fan, and I have gmail fairly well set up, but I'm always open to more ideas. I also synch things on my iPhone and use the To Do web/mobile application Remember The Milk.

How do u guys think one should behave as an Intern? I am a little nervous and any of your comments and experiences so far ...would be helpful. Thanks

Your nervousness is because you are doing something new in a new environment. That's only normal and will fade away when the first days and weeks pass.

As far as behavior goes:
- Always be polite and respectful to your new colleagues.
- Remember the following proverb/saying: "Speaking is silver, silence is gold", meaning that it is wise to listen to others before speaking yourself (in this case your new and experienced colleagues). But also feel confident to add to the conversation.
- Don't be afraid ...

Please use this thread to voice any issues concerning technical functionality in regards to the Q&AIMS service.

The AIMS Technology delegates will take all the issues into consideration. An "issues" pages will be developed in the near future to communicate known issues and their status (i.e. received/worked on/resolved)

Thanks

It might be nice to have a category for homework or technical questions. For example, it would be nice to have a category to ask for help on a coding problem.

What functionality would you like to see on the AIMS website?

Can we get a section for technical/homework related questions? For example, if I am having a problem with some code, it would be nice to be able to get the help of the class.
