This is an issue I’ve been having recently… Rotman books all the breakout rooms for some event and leaves the students who have ACTUAL MEETINGS AND WORK TO DO no where to work. Given the tight timeline on assignments and the co-ordination issues of setting up a meeting with 6 busy people, it would be useful to not have to worry about having a room to work in. Picture for tomorrow’s room availability:
This is an issue that has been brought up many times and it looks like there is no real viable solution. I’m sure just about every other b-school has the same problem as well.
In conclusion: I know that events are important but at least leave us a few places to work–don’t just mass book everything.
