Areas of Study All MBA visiting exchange students are registered in MBA elective courses at the Ivey Business School. Exchange students may only take courses offered by Ivey. Courses in other departments at Western are not available. Course Load MBA visiting exchange students are required to take a minimum of 2.0 credits (4 MBA Requirement electives per term) while at Ivey, regardless of whether credit may be obtained at the home university. MBA visiting exchange students may take up to 2.5 credits (5 MBA electives) per term without requiring special permission. If more than 2.5 credits are required, the student must contact MBA Program Services during the add/drop period for special permission to increase the number of electives taken. MBA electives consist of ten 3 hour classes (30 class hours total) = .75 credit. Ivey MBA electives are generally equal to 7.5 ECTS credits. Course Information The elective course catalogue and course selection instructions for the 2019-2020 program will be available in June 2019. 2 All elective courses available to incoming MBA exchange students are MBA courses. MBA exchange students must have the prerequisites for all courses taken. Registration in courses for which you do not have prerequisites for will result in a failing grade. Course Registration In July, all nominated exchange students will participate in the course pre-registration Process process. This process is a bidding process (not first come, first serve) and all visiting exchange students will receive 100 bid points for the term they are here. Students allocate their bid points towards courses they wish to take, or those they may be required to take for their home university. The results of the course pre-registration will be available by mid-August. There are add/drop periods (2 per term) in which changes to courses can be made. Class sizes are mainly 70, but in some cases depending on room size and topic of course, this may vary. Please note that there may not be enough room in a course that you bid on and you will become waitlisted. It is recommended that students put more bid points towards courses that are required for their home school or for courses student are extremely interested in taking. Class Attendance Students are expected to attend all classes unless there are extenuating circumstances (i.e. illness). Students are required to inform their professor prior to class if they are going to be absent and in some cases, will be required to provide supporting documentation (i.e. medical note). Students will not be excused from class for travel reasons. The following (or similar) is indicated on all Ivey course outlines and is the policy regarding class attendance: “If you miss more than 25% of the course, you cannot have fully mastered the material, and thus will be barred from writing the final exam. This makes it extremely likely that you will receive a failing grade in the course.” Learning Expectations Class Format Case method of study. Each class is a discussion of a case scenario; 20-30 pages about a real company. The class discusses the situation. The professor guides the discussion and draws the class to the key learning points. Attendance Class attendance is mandatory for every class. All MBA students, including exchange students, may not add a course after the first day of classes. Contribution Contribution in each course is weighted as high as 50% of the final grade. Exchange students have a significantly different and valuable set of life experiences and should be prepared to actively contribute in every class. Students must prepare the case(s) before each class. 3 General Management Approach Ivey uses a very strong case-method approach to learning. Theory is learned at the same time as skills are developed. Managers require skills to analyze their needs and situations, decision-making skills at many levels every day. The Ivey case-method develops the student’s skills in every functional area. Grading Grades are given in percentages at Ivey. MBA Grades Interpretation 90% - 100% A+ Distinction 85% - 89% A ) 80% - 84% A- ) High Pass 77% - 79% B+ ) 73% - 76% B ) Good 70% - 72% B- ) 67% - 69% C+ ) 63% - 66% C ) Pass 60% - 62% C- ) <60% Fail A copy of the Official Western transcript will be emailed to students’ home university by the Ivey MBA Exchange Coordinator. Any additional copies required are to be ordered through Western’s Registrar’s Office by the student at the end of term. An unofficial grade report can be accessed by students on Learn (Ivey Student Information System). Exams Exams are held at the end of each elective period following the final class in the course. Most Ivey MBA exams are in the form of a case to be read and a set of analysis and recommendations to be determined within a 4-hour assigned period. Exam dates and times are published at the beginning of each term and cannot be changed to accommodate students’ wishes or plane tickets. Some courses have final projects or presentations during the exam period instead of a written exam. All students must write exams (or projects or presentations) at the assigned dates and times. Please arrange your return air flight after the end of the exam period. Laptop computers: Students are expected to have a computer as most exams are written on computers and many class exercises require a computer. There is no computer lab in Ivey. Arrival/Orientation Program Arrival Date You should plan to be on campus by: Fall 2019 term students – Week of August 26 - September 2, 2019 Winter 2020 term students – Week of January 2 - 5, 2020 Pre-Arrival Information For more information on your exchange to Ivey, please read the Ivey MBA Exchange Program Handbook which will be provided to all visiting exchange students. 4 Mandatory Orientation An MBA Exchange Orientation will be held in early September and January.

  • PROPOSED MERGER YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT to The
    PROPOSED MERGER YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT To the Stockholders of Standard Diversified Inc.: Standard Diversified Inc., which we refer to as SDI, and Turning Point Brands, Inc., which we refer to as TPB, have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, which we refer to as the merger agreement, pursuant to which SDI will merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of TPB, which we refer to as the merger. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, which we refer to as the effective time, each share of Class A and Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of SDI, which we refer to collectively as SDI Common Stock, will be converted into a portion of the Stock Merger Consideration (as defined below) equal to a fraction of a share of TPB Voting Common Stock, $0.01 par value, which we refer to as TPB Common Stock, equal to (i) the total number of shares of TPB Common Stock constituting the Stock Merger Consideration, divided by (ii) the total number of SDI Common Stock outstanding at such date, plus the number of shares of SDI Common Stock underlying all restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards that will vest in accordance with the merger, but only to the extent such shares were not outstanding prior to such vesting. Each SDI stockholder’s aggregate portion of merger consideration will be rounded up to the next whole share of TPB Common Stock. The ‘‘Stock Merger Consideration’’ means a total number of shares of TPB Common Stock equal to 97% of the total number of shares of TPB Common Stock owned by SDI as of the effective time of the merger.

  • University of Western Ontario's Ivey Business
    2018 FALL EXCHANGE THE BEST TIME TO EXCHANGE BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER AND THE NUMBER OF HOLIDAYS YOU GET UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO’S IVEY BUSINESS SCHOOL RANKED 9TH IN CANADA AS ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST PARTY UNIVERSITIES TOMAS, ANGEL DIANNE KIRSTY YEAR 3 MARKETING & MANAGEMENT MAJOR General Exchange Information First thing’s first: WESTERN IS A BIG PARTY SCHOOL. You have now been warned. Also since I was confused to why the place I was exchanging to was always referred to differently, let me first explain the difference between Ivey and Western: Ivey is the name used to refer to the business school in Western. Since Ivey students always have classes in Ivey and stay there at all times and because of the difference in teaching and examination styles, people typically say they are from Ivey rather than Western when they are asked. Students at Ivey also barely get to interact with other Western students and vice versa due to them typically never having to move between buildings. With that, I shall now move on to the basic information of my exchange, which I have ordered according to relevance. Visa Procedures & Flight I have a Hong Kong passport; therefore, I did not need to apply for a visa to go to Canada since I am able to legally stay in Canada for up to six months. Nevertheless, it was required for me to apply for an Electronic Travel Authentication (eTA) as a visa-exempt foreign national flying to Canada by air. You can check if you are eligible to get one online and apply for it online.

  • Classical Benders Decomposition (KC203) Cluster: CPAIOR Chair: Jean-François Cordeau, HEC Montreal
    Sunday, May 29, 2016 9:00am - 10:00am Session: Classical Benders Decomposition (KC203) Cluster: CPAIOR Chair: Jean-François Cordeau, HEC Montreal Classical Benders Decomposition Jean-François Cordeau, HEC Montréal, [email protected] Benders decomposition is a mathematical decomposition technique designed to solve large- scale linear and mixed-integer programs comprising two sets of variables such that a more tractable subproblem is obtained when the values of some "complicating" variables are fixed. The technique works by projecting the original problem on the space of the complicating variables, and by using a cutting plane method where cuts are generated by solving the subproblem. The purpose of this masterclass is to introduce the basic Benders decomposition methodology, to present several computational refinements that have shown to improve performance, and to discuss some recent developments. ______________________________________________________________________________ 10:15am - 11:15am Session: Logic-Based Benders Decomposition (KC203) Cluster: CPAIOR Chair: John Hooker, Carnegie Mellon University Logic-Based Benders Decomposition John Hooker, Carnegie Mellon University, [email protected] This is a tutorial on logic-based Benders decomposition, which generalizes the classical Benders method so as to accommodate an arbitrary subproblem rather than only a linear or continuous nonlinear programming problem. This allows one to apply Benders profitably to any problem that simplifies or decouples when certain variables are

  • Exchange Report Ivey Business School At
    EXCHANGE REPORT IVEY BUSINESS SCHOOL AT UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO IO, Ryan Fall Semester (2015 - 2016, Accounting and Finance) Part I – Monthly Activity Log September School usually starts pretty late for Ivey, it started at 11 th Sep this semester. As the first month of school and life at Canada, my first few weeks of life was overwhelmed by plenty of onboarding issues and orientation events. Aside from the orientation, I had also spent time to adapt the case method and the weather of Canada. October School work and residence issues were mostly settled. In terms of school work, I had taken 4 courses, mostly financial courses. Yet, the demand of work was much more than that of UST, since the classes are in discussion format and the case study method requires many upfront preparation. Since the courses that I took has no mid-term exam component, so I had spent a week time to travel Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City. I had also been to Niagara Falls and crossed the border to Buffalo City to do some winter gear shopping at their outlet mall. There is also an annual highlight of UWO called the Homecoming event, where Alumni would come back to watch football game. Students would also literally start drinking and get drunk in the morning as early as 8 am. Remember to dress in purple color and got some mustang features on your body! November It was much colder during this time with temperature around 0-8c and where the first snow took place. School work had become much busier since there were group projects and individual assignments due.
