Dr. Eldon Facer, Professor of Finance and Chair of the MBA program in the late 60’s held a required MBA financial case study class. Dr. Facer would lead the discussion by asking questions and call on students to answer. If you had an unacceptable answer, he would make you believe there was a high likelihood that you would fail for inadequate preparation or illogical thinking And the questions, the analysis asked for, was never easy. The only way to avoid being called upon if you knew you did not have a good answer was to raise your hand. Some of the students never realized that he never called upon a student with a raised hand.

I really liked Dr. Facer – it was always a great show.
