Abstract: For the past six years I have taught a second-year elective course on the art of modeling to MBA students at the Tuck School. This course has met with some success, and since my experience challenges the accepted wisdom that MBA students are not receptive to quantitative methods, I would like to share some of my experiences here. I want to describe the philosophy behind the course and the manner in which it is delivered, to attempt to account for its acceptance, and to encourage you to experiment with similar pedagogical approaches.
