It is no secret that interest in computer science is skyrocketing. At Penn, the Computer Science and Information Sciences department is working to create a “richer selection” of courses that will appeal to students of all backgrounds. 

“The goal of the Center is to connect three different groups of stakeholders: the industry people, the students and the faculty,” Baker Retailing Center Director Barbara Kahn said.

The Kelly Writers House held its annual Marathon Reading program on Thursday, where students and faculty took turns reading out loud from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy series.

Each couple was given 20 dollars and the objective of splitting the money between them in only one way: One person would get 15 while the other would get only five.

Each week, the class will spend 4 1/2 hours reading a book in silence before eating dinner they cook for one another.

The program will enable students to enter the workforce for two to four years knowing they will be able to return to Wharton to pursue an MBA.

Harvard Law school recently announced they will allow students to submit the GRE in place of the LSAT, but some Penn Law students don't think Penn should do the same.

“They wanted people who had more knowledge of mechanical engineering,” Wharton and Engineering freshman George Pandya said. “I was able to get some experience with developing mechanical tools before I came here and that really helped me get the position when I applied.”

Students had the task of crafting a strategy to spark interest in Japanese society back at Penn.

Grant, who is the youngest-tenured professor at the Wharton School, has been recognized as Wharton's highest-rated professor for the past five years.

Based on calculations that include winter break, spring break, thanksgiving break, reading days and all long weekends for the 2016-2017 academic calendar, Penn gives students 34 days off for the year — that is shorter than Dartmouth, Cornell and Brown's winter breaks. 

“It was very different from Management 100 where we spent hours upon hours outside of class with our teammates,” Warner said.

The feature combines all of the scores of selected courses into a single number for each ratings category.

Kelly purposefully tries to encourage a relaxing learning experience in order to minimize the stress of his students.

Fulfilling your college requirements can be tough. Consider taking a class that double counts to take some strain off.

“It was extra weird since we didn’t have class during spring break or this week, so it just seems like a very long time to not have class,” Trubowitsch said. 

“Why can’t we print in your building without a Wharton ID? Not even that, why can’t I log into a computer?” Trivedi said. “At [David Rittenhouse Laboratories], my home base, we invite everyone to freely print. Same with Engineering, my second home base.”
