One and a half week into the first term and the term is 25 % complete.
How come?
It’s so because each of the eight terms at ISB is of 6 weeks, so the course is going very fast and there is Mid term on week end after this one.
After the first weekend people were longing for the classes to begin. Why? Is there any problem with them?
No. It’s so because there are problems with the weekend- Marketing Assignment, Microeconomics Assignment and FADM (Accounting) Quiz to name a few of them. So the consensus is that the regular classes are much better.
And when we are meticulously being taught journal entries, my disbelief that an accounting course as wide as ours can be completed in 20 contact hours is fading away. And that’s Professor Mark Finn for us- with all the delight he gets in teaching his class (you have to be in the class to feel it).
Then in the Class of 2008 when there are 8 Amits, 7 Nehas, 6 Nitins, 6 Gauravs, 6 Abhisheks, 5 Saurabh/Souravs, 5 Satishs, 5 Rohits, 5, Ashishs, 4 Sachins, Viveks, Vijays, Puneets, Prashants, Pankajs, Kartiks, Ankits and Abhijits each, no wonder to distinguish amongst three Puneets in our section, our Micro Economics Professor had to call me the ‘Quieter Puneet’.
It’s true Amit, most of us have few doubts by the end of the class so it’s more to learn than raising questions.
Any MBA course would be incomplete without a course in Marketing. Any marketing course will be incomplete without CP. (‘Class Participation’ for the uninitiated). And when there are 20% marks at stake for the class participation, the class is bound to look like a stock exchange. But this time our Professor stumped us by randomly selecting all the groups for the CP. People had to orient their thoughts at the shortest notice and even an eternal CP master Sourya Da was caught off guard.
So all of those who are listening and want to know about an ISB MBA, I can say that it is like a cool wind and you have to be really fast and alert to keep pace with it. And that is the real fun which our batch is enjoying at the moment.
Bye for now and C u soon with the next post.
