<p>can someone who took any of these classes comment on the difficulty and content (or anything you want) about these classes? </p>
<p>IEOR 4000
IEOR 4003

<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>suggestion- list the course titles. I dont remember what number my courses were and I doubt many people do. Also, check culpa</p>
<p>IEOR 4000 - Production and operations management
IEOR 4003 - industrial economics
IEOR 4004 - Intro to OR: deterministic model
IEOR 4106 - Intro to OR: stochastic model
SIEO 4150 - Intro to Probability and statistics
IEOR 4307 - industrial forecasting
IEOR 4404 - simulation
IEOR 4418 - logistics / transportation management
IEOR 4601 - dynamic pricing/revenue management
IEOR 4700 - intro to financial engineering.</p>
<p>Any info on the difficulty and content and opinions would be appreciated.</p>
<p>just need some feedback about these classes.</p>

<p>anyone???</p>
<p>There’s only a handful of alums/current students on here, you can’t expect every major to be well represented. </p>
<p>If culpa doesnt have what you are looking for, contact whatever the student org for IE is (eg. AIChE for chem.e., ASME for mech.e., etc) and ask there.</p>
<p>culpa seems to be rarely updated… there has not been new review for a few months.</p>
<p>First, a lot of the courses you’ve put on here are graduate level. Undergraduates take some permutation of these classes but it’s unnecessary to do so. I can comment on what the undergraduate version is like.</p>
<p>a) IEOR 4000 - Production and operations management </p>
<p>I have no idea about this class. Probably graduate level</p>
<p>b) IEOR 4003 - industrial economics</p>
<p>This is the undergraduate IEOR version of corporate finance with way more mathematics. B+/A- Curve with 10% of the students getting A+'s but definitely not a cake-walk of a class in terms of difficulty and breadth of material.</p>
<p>c) IEOR 4004 - Intro to OR: deterministic model</p>
<p>I have no idea about this class. Probably graduate level</p>
<p>d) IEOR 4106 - Intro to OR: stochastic model</p>
<p>I’m taking the 3106 level of this and the material is quite difficult, though the curve is generous because no one really understands it. The graduate level of this course is taught by Sigman, who teaches very well. Expect a difficult curve though.</p>
<p>e) SIEO 4150 - Intro to Probability and statistics</p>
<p>Graduate level. I’ve heard that this class is manageable.</p>
<p>f) IEOR 4307 - industrial forecasting</p>
<p>This is required by many undergraduate majors in IEOR. I haven’t heard too many complaints so I’m assuming that it’s manageable. It’s a senior level course.</p>
<p>g) IEOR 4404 - simulation</p>
<p>Hard class for undergraduates, though it’s a graduate level course. It’s taught by Jose Blanchet or Mariana Olvera-Cravioto who are both difficult, though the former is a tough grader and is theoretically more difficult. This is an extremely tough class.</p>
<p>h) IEOR 4418 - logistics / transportation management</p>
<p>I don’t know anything about this class. Probably graduate level.</p>
<p>i) IEOR 4601 - dynamic pricing/revenue management</p>
<p>I don’t know anything about this class. Probably graduate level</p>
<p>j) IEOR 4700 - intro to financial engineering.</p>
<p>This class is either taught by David Yao, who is a heavy hitter in the IEOR department or Xuedong Hue, who is a graduate student. The fall version is taught by Yao and is mostly taken by graduate students. Xuedong Hue teaches undergraduates in the spring, mostly FE majors. I think that this class is fairly manageable, but the curve is most likely brutal given that motivated and intelligent students self-select into this class.</p>
<p>What do you mean “heavy hitter”? </p>
<p>It doesn’t seem to me that Sigman is a tough grader… I got an A in his 4106 even though some of the stuff is a little difficult conceptually. </p>
<p>I am currently taking 4003. It is difinitely not a cake walk. Kachani’s midterm is one of the most difficult midterm I’ve had. His midterm is 3-hr long (same length of time as FInal Exam), and I don’t think a 3-hr midterm is common. </p>
<p>Also, what about IEOR 4620? IEOR 4602? What are the differences between 4700 and 4706?</p>
<p>btw, Sigman looks like David Copperfield.</p>
<p>Kachani’s class’s difficulty is proven again by his ridiculously LONG and HARD final exam.</p>
<p>I thought Kachanis class was quite manageable if not one of the easier courses I’ve taken. I’m sorry that you struggled with the class as I found the teaching to be beyond bad. Once again, I just sucked it up and taught myself everything. Going through the IEOR department is like attending an online university.</p>
<p>iyengar is terrible… but i managed to get a good grade. LOL.</p>
<p>how is 4007 difficulty compared to other classes?</p>
