Classes.

They said a one year MBA would be intense. They emphasized that the Warwick curriculum was especially intense. I am learning very quickly that they were NOT joking!

Here's my class line up for the first term:
Accounting & Financial Management
Market Analysis - A non-traditional marketing course
Organizational Behavior
Economics of the Business Environment
Operations Management
Practice of Management - a real life client project in the surrounding community - we are tying to assist Way of the Goose Community Center in Coventry

I am enjoying most of my classes, just wish I had time to actually read all of the class books/case studies (so much more interesting now that I have experience to be able to relate to the concepts).

I have few professors who author the class book (and many others in their fields) and case studies, WBS hails some very renowned faculty. Additionally, to my utter surprise, my favorite class is one that constantly haunted me in Undergrad...Economics - what can I say the teacher can "make" the class.

We have teamwork in every module (class) and have a core team (syndicate group) for every class besides Practice of Management - we spend a lot of time together! Just like my undergrad, I am always at meetings (morning, lunch time and evenings) - although this time they are all academic related and not club meetings.

So, it is Week 3, we have midterms (the kind opportunity they offer us, so we can "practice") in Week 5. Stay tuned.

The wise alumni also said once surviving the first term at WBS, you can survive anything....

Ahh, yes better get on to the next meeting....

Photo 2 - the business building all of my classes are in (i.e. the building I see the sun rise and set in)
Photo 3 - I said that classes were interesting, but of course I needed some adjustment time to get back into the swing of things (that was just an introduction to a class)
Photo 4 - Site visit to Way of the Goose Community Center in Coventry (POM). This is a pile of old-school, antique Singer sewing machines - I have never seen so many in my life, this photo just shows a fraction of them they had there!
