It has been only 48 hours my MBA main course has begun. And already lots of activities have happened and we got into some serious business directly!!
My classes have begun at their full swing and assignment deadlines have been splelt out!! (Yes. You guys read it right!!!). The profs were very clear in defining what is expected from us and what we can expect from them.
My Project team has already been formed and we would be working together as a Team over the next two quarters. The profile of the team members are quiet interesting. One has completed 3 levels of CFA examination (an on-line finance course), another has a psychology major and work experience while the other is a lawyer by profession. The average work experience of our group is approx 5 years and I think we must be able to contribute and add value to our works with this diverse experiences.
A lot of Pre-class reading materials were given through our internal web portal. Frankly speaking, this was the first time I went to the class “prepared” (??). Wow. The results of this are amazing. You discuss in the class regarding the topic, relate your personal experiences with the topic and within span of few minutes the entire class room becomes lively. A sharp contrast from the Under Grad education, where the poor Prof was made to stand for an hour and talk monotonously. All the profs insisted on Class participation and timely submission of team assignments. They also spelt out the grading methods for each subject, gave the assignment deadlines and asked us to study/deliver.
On the other hand, lots of activities have begun to happen to mould us professionally. A number of Case study Competitions, Asset Management competitions, Info sessions by biggies like (BCG, Merrill Lynch, P&G, Bain, Accenture…), International Study tours (This year to China and Africa) are being arranged at a fast pace.
A basket full of apples has been provided and it is now up to me to make the best use of apples.
The MBA wheel has started rolling and I think I must make my brain wheel faster to cope up with it!!
