 <title>Curriculum</title>
 <link>http://rendez.org/en/curriculum</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;The flagship educational program for the &lt;em&gt;Rendez&lt;/em&gt; project is the Master&#039;s program in International Service Business Management, offered at Helsinki Polytechnic Stadia.  The 2007-2008 class had its first meeting on September 6, 2007.&amp;nbsp; The program was launched with a 2006-2007 on September 7, 2006.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An outline of the program is available as a &lt;a title=&quot;http://cs.stadia.fi/TUTA/masters_brochure.pdf&quot; href=&quot;http://cs.stadia.fi/TUTA/masters_brochure.pdf&quot;&gt;brochure on the Stadia web site&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Course Design&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The content of the course is multidimensional, described on the &lt;a title=&quot;2006 Dimensions and Threads&quot; href=&quot;/stadia-isbm-2006-dimensions&quot;&gt;2006 Dimensions and Threads&lt;/a&gt; page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Sessions&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fall term of the program includes an accelerated schedule of lectures.  These are described on the &lt;a title=&quot;2007 Sessions&quot; href=&quot;stadia-isbm-2007-sessions&quot;&gt;2007 Sessions Timetable&lt;/a&gt; page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;During the term when theses are developed, students have been clustered into &lt;a href=&quot;stadia-isbm-2006-theses&quot;&gt;smaller groups&lt;/a&gt; to enable more personalized attention.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For reference, the historical &lt;a title=&quot;2006 Sessions&quot; href=&quot;/stadia-isbm-2006-sessions&quot;&gt;2006 Sessions Timetable&lt;/a&gt; page has been retained on the web site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Credits&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The tight scheduling of lectures is achieved through the blending of dimensions and threads.  In order to satisfy academic requirements, students should pay attention to the layout of &lt;a title=&quot;2006 Credits&quot; href=&quot;/stadia-isbm-2006-credits&quot;&gt;credits&lt;/a&gt;, with an intricate parsing of interwoven themes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Evolving Curriculum&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Initial development of this curriculum began with an &amp;quot;ideal&amp;quot; model that did not take holiday schedules and the availability of speakers into account.  This content remains available at &lt;a href=&quot;http://daviding.com/drafts/sbm&quot;&gt;daviding.com/drafts/sbm&lt;/a&gt;, but don&#039;t be confused by that!  The content here on rendez.org web site is the &amp;quot;living&amp;quot; content that will evolve, and the prior content has been preserved only as a reference.&lt;/p&gt;
