*Thursdays from '''1pm to 3pm''' - This time slot is '''[http12://osoc.berkeley.edu/OSOC/osoc?y=14&p_term=SP&p_deptname=Business+Administration+Doctoral+Program&p_classif=--+Choose+a+Course+Classification+--&p_presuf=--+Choose+a+Course+Prefix%2fSuffix+--&x=60 as posted in the online schedule] and may be open 30pm to debate2pm'''.

==Priority for SchedulingWho is Presenting==

The order of priority for scheduling is:*Sixth Years (Justin)*Fifth Years*Fourth Years*Third Years*Second Years Please add yourself (first name only will do) in to any date that you would like to present, noting that the priority above applies. Within years it is first-come-first-served (yes there is a history function to check!). During the first class we will have a clearance. But if you feel sure that you have a date (i.e. because you are a sixth year, or fifth year and Justin has already chosen, or all fifth years have decided and you are a fourth year, and so on by induction) you can turn your name '''bold'''. A list of [[BPP Students | all BPP students is here]]. Note that there are 14 current BPP students in years 2 through 6, and 14 slots (yeah!). However, Job Market candidates, other than Dylan, will be sharing a slot, or a slot will be used for the job market recap.

'''THIS SCHEDULE IS CURRENTLY BEING CONTESTED - PLEASE SEE BELOWFINAL AND WAS AGREED WITH STEVE'''

*Thurs 14th April - BO*Thurs 21st April - LUCY*Thurs 28th April - JOB MARKET RECAP (or 5th/6th year) If job market candidates don't need a slot then please "sign" below, so we can still clear the priority sorting:*I don't need a slot - '''BryanBo''' ==Proposed New Institutions== The schedule above is what happened using a by*Thurs 21st April -senority-then-first-come-first-served system. This schedule seems to be socially sub-optimal (i.e. it doesn't maximize social welfare). Orie sent an email noting this and proposing a new system:  I’d like to point out that we have some issues with the schedule. For example, that the 2nd years are presenting very early in the semester after having presented late in the fall, and almost everyone else is in pure rank order. After some discussion here is what I propose for norms so that the online date selection matches better what used to happen in the scheduling meeting. In general, everyone should pick by seniority, but with the following conditions: '''For the Spring:Lucy''' *Thurs 28th April -Job market candidates get spots only after everyone else has chosen. -Those with specific plans for orals in the spring have first priority -2nd years don’t get stuck early in the spring after presenting late in the fall. '''For the Fall:''' -3rd years (who have just completed 2nd year papers) present early -2nd years each get half a slot, and present relatively late in the semester -Job market candidates get priority, but are encouraged to present early in the semester, especially before their OEW slots and other outside presentations. These are still subject to gaming, but I hope we would all stick to the spirit of these.  Ed feels that the easiest way to '''operationalize Orie's proposal''' is to change the senority order to the following: '''Fall Term'''#Job Market Candidates#Second Years as a group for a single slot#By Senority Recap (with the third or 5th/6th years last) '''Spring Term'''#Those taking their orals#2nd Years#By senority (except for job market candidates)#Job Market Candidates  '''An alternative''' that should also work, and which still affords more seniority to program order is:*Each term is broken into a first half and a second half.*There are two rounds. You may choose in only one round.*In the first round senority is by program order (6th year -> 2nd year), but you may choose only from the first half of the slots (or wait until the next round).*In the second round both halves are open and the senority is as in Ed's proposal above, but pre-chosen slots from the first round in the first half can not be bumped.

'''The status quo''' is not the senority system that Following a BPP student group meeting with Steve Tadelis, we have used to date on the wiki. Rather, it is whatever schedule Steve collectively (or whomever is running and with the seminarfaculty) would impose on usagreed a new institution for the presentation order at the Student Seminar.This is detailed here:*[[PHDBA279S Presentation Institutions]]*[[BPP Student Institutions]]
