It is getting a little like "Ground Hog" day around here. I don't mean that in a negative way, but in a nut shell we get up, attend 4 or so lectures a day, fit in breakfast, lunch and dinner (some exercise if we can get up in time), and then work through until at least 10pm or 11pm each night.
It is very interesting, engaging, stimulating and challenging for me, but I am not sure how I can do it justice in a small blog (that I don't really have time to write).
On Tuesday for instance we had a class on Negotiations, one on Strategy, a third on Leadership and a fourth on Finance. Each one required a case study to be read, assimilated, the requisite questions answered, discussed with your working group, and summarised in a way that can be discussed and debated in class.
There is more work than there are hours in the day so you have to develop a way of sharing the work among your working group. I think our group is working OK, we can certainly get more efficient but there is also a need to bring the slowest learned along and up to a reasonable level.

Sounds like you are doing a compact MBA, remember Robin, and how well you both got on.
ReplyDeleteAll quiet down here in the South, concern about the allblacks being the major news.
I guess they need to group the themes under headings which are the same as an MBA, but the level of insight, depth and debate is much greater. We have not yet had an actual "lecture" as such.
