Term 2 Post Mid Term, Week 3
We are now halfway through the 1st year of this MBA program and some things are becoming clear:
The spirit of camaraderie's is missing.
I have found a few good folks though and I like working with them. I am doing well in class. I expect 3A's, 1C and 1B in Term 1. I can't believe I still care how I am doing academically.
We had our mid terms for Term 2 two weeks ago. They went well.
We are now halfway through the 1st year of this MBA program and some things are becoming clear:
- Most people are in the program for money. Some folks asked a prof. whether a topic would be asked in the exams so that they could conveniently skip it
- People fight over 2-3 marks so that they can have the best GPA.
- Only a few projects have truly led to learning
- Each prof has his/her own expectations, which must be fulfilled. This is analogous to doing what your manager asks you to do to be successful.
- The next 2.5 years are not going to be easy
- More people will drop out of the program because of its stringent rules and an obstinate inconsiderate dean.
- The committee with the most volunteers is the placement committee :)
- Even at this level, people resort to teaching in exams.
