I have to confess that taking a class after work has always been a little dreadful - even I am motivated to learn. After a whole day of work, I have to sit through another 4 hrs of lectures and falling asleep is not all too uncommon. Despite the fact that this class is on a Friday when we should all be kicking back at home or at friendly gatherings, I don't think I have felt any tiring moments during classes. The class size, the materials, and the class dynamic are just amazing. Most of our time were not spent on reviewing text book materials that we could read offline but on reflecting and experimenting. I personally feel that this is the best way to learn in a graduate/MBA class.
I have also taken management classes at work. They were all too uptight - I think the fact that it's happening in a work environment and the participants are co-workers suppressed the openness required to fully benefit from a class such as this global leadership class.
My final comment - I have never experienced Star Trek as a formal learning tool ... talking about innovative here :)
