“My teaching style is conversational,
exploratory, and interactive. I want
students to feel that we’re on a journey
to learn together. They’re curious and
interesting, and they end up teaching
me as much as I teach them.”
The best proof of this is from Berkeley MBA students themselves, who
are asked to evaluate the teaching of their professors every semester.
Over the past several years, about two-thirds of the Haas School faculty
members have regularly earned the coveted “Club 6” status in their student
evaluations—that is, their average ratings are 6 or higher on a 7-point scale.
Established Excellence in Teaching
In the Berkeley MBA classroom, faculty members emphasize both theory
and practice by using a variety of teaching methods. Case studies, seminars,
simulations, guest speakers, and group projects all facilitate the learning
process. Classroom learning is enhanced by numerous opportunities to apply
the lessons to real-world situations. For example, some courses in marketing
and entrepreneurship place teams of MBA and graduate engineering
students together at Silicon Valley firms for hands-on consulting projects.
Haas professors regularly integrate their research findings into new course
offerings and reassess the MBA curriculum to ensure its relevance in
presenting current management issues. In their courses, Berkeley MBA
students benefit by being among the first to learn of faculty discoveries and
by studying first-hand with the inventors of new theories and principles for
management practice.
