Time for hot seats again!
I never though this could ever happen.....but it is a reality and difficult to fathom. I only have 24 hours in a day and it is just not enough.
Exams are round the corner. 4 exams in 3 days next week starting Monday. And a host of submissions have been happening during the past few weeks (a clear sign has been the fewer number of diary postings this month). We have had two WAC's, E-Business group presentation, PCS Press conference and Strategy presentation. We also had to firm up our Business Start-up idea for next term. On the heels are E-Business individual report and Strategy group report. Most of us are trying to find projects too. Some of the students are appearing for job interviews as well. And of course, lectures, team meetings and revisions (if any time is left) also need to be managed.
At times, my heart sinks from the mere feeling of "so much to do, so little time". And we have covered six months of our MBA.
We are going through the last of our lectures this week. We had our last session on Macroeconomics with Prof Joe Nellis. It was a wonderful session that encapsulated the entire term into one complete picture. I am going to miss his sessions and above all, his banter with our sports rep Ed Lamb (British).
I am just back after attending the last tutorial on Financial Management with Prof David Myddelton. I find David one of rarest of Professors in the field of Finance who has a classic sense of humour. He is an icon and an authority on the subject.
We recently received back our FIN WAC's assessed by him and another professor. Alongwith our assessed WAC's, we also got a 6 page typed out hard hitting feedback on our works. Some teams got individual feedback too, over and above this common one. What has surprised me is not the content of the feedback, but the fact that the faculty invested so much time and energy, first in marking our WAC's and then preparing such an elaborate feedback for us.
So it is now time to test ourselves again and sit in those hot seats next week. If only I could change something about the days and the hours available.............
