Today was the 16th day of classes. A weekend is here and along comes a series of assignments and projects to be finished. Today we effectively completed 8 classses for each subject. Two more classes for each subject to go in this term and we will be 12.5% MBA. Wow!
In the Marketing class, I studied about the Reference Points of pricing and some great practical concepts like "Why care about a couple of cents per minute for great quality- AT&T" vs "Why waste $100" concept. Prof Piyush Kumar makes a lot of sense and I have started developing some interest in Marketing course finally.
In the Accounting class, I studied about the Inventory accounting. It was a normal topic. Didn't find anything interesting in today's class.
A colleague had come out with an idea of a "Happy hour" where everyone from ISB - current students, faculty and alums meet on Thursday evening for an hour. This is more of a networking platform and to unwind after a grueling week and get ready for even more grueling weekend. Today was the first Happy Hour and it was a phenominal success. Lot's of people turned out, as I was expecting. What would surprise me is if the numbers remain the same as time progresses. I met a couple of new people today, so it did help with the networking. There was light music, live music, and drinks and snacks to buy. Overall had a nice time. Only thing that it was happy two and half hours and not just one hour.
After this, I attended the photographic club meeting and learnt some interesting facts about digital photography like take photos from an angle for a subject like flowers, how to focus to get the effects, how to hold the camera etc. It was quite enlightening.
This week I have a Accounting Quiz and Economics Quiz to compelte, apart from the Accounting Project. I have not seen the project yet, but I have heard it is huge - 200 pages!! So, this weekend is going to be busy. And the fact that this is the last weekend before the final exam weekend, lot's of study to do. I have big plans but it remains to be seen, how many of these materialize.
