The Philosophy Final - Essay Example

Philosophy 28th Jan., The Philosophy Final The primary problem in this case study is that there was confusion aboutwhich group, between the 500 philosophy students group, and the women basketball team was supposed to use the Coors Events Centre at that time; it was not possible for the two groups of students to use the events centre simultaneously. The women basketball team coach claimed, on one hand, that the events centre was scheduled for practice at that time, and the graduate instructors, on the other hand, claimed that the Events Centre was reserved until 10.00 am. for the Philosophy final exam.

The problem required immediate resolution but, unfortunately, the Philosophy students’ professor was not around to help in resolving the problem, and the receptionist at the events scheduling office did not have an idea about how the problem could have occurred. The receptionist at the events scheduling centre had to look for someone in the office to help in resolving the problem.This problem occurred because the events scheduling centre had mistakenly scheduled the two events to take place at the same time.

It is not possible, however, that the events scheduling office had deliberately scheduled the two groups to use the centre at the same time, given the fact that doing exams requires a calm and tranquil environment; the philosophy students could not be able to do their exams with the basketball women team playing in the events centre. This fact, therefore, shows that the events scheduling office had mistakenly scheduled the two events to take place at the same time.What should have been done differently at the time was that the events scheduling office should have been more careful in scheduling events, so as to avoid the mistake of scheduling two events to take place at the same time.

To avoid any such a problem in the future, I recommend the following two changes. First, the events scheduling office should make their events schedule available to the public. With the events schedule being accessible to all the interested parties, any mistake in the schedule would be easily noticeable and corrected beforehand. But, since the events schedule was not available to the public, even the receptionist of the events scheduling office did not know anything about the schedule and how the problem could have occurred.

Secondly, the events scheduling office should always have one of their officials in standby to resolve any complaints concerning the schedule. Since there was no official of the events scheduling office was available to handle the conflict between the students and the women basketball time, the receptionist of the events scheduling office had to take time to look for an official from the scheduling office to resolve the conflict. If these two changes are executed in the management of the Coors Events Centre, no such problem could occur again in the future.
