Today was 19th Day of classes. It was the 10th and final class for both Statistics and Economics. Both these classes were being taught by two of the most amazing professors. The right mix of humor and keeping the interest up was the main strength for both the profs. These were among best classes I have ever attended in my life.
In Statistics we continued our discussion on multi level categorical variables. In the last part we studied about the log transformations. In Economics we studied about the expected utilities in case of bonus compensation by the companies as well as in the insurance sector. The problems were quite practical and interesting. Jargon for the day was asymmetrical information.
Tomorrow will be the last classes for Term 1. Monday the D-Day is coming. It's going to be a few long nights before Monday.
In the mean time I met a colleague who is a CA and comes from banking background. Got some gyan from him about the banking industry. It seems my interest lies more in the financial world. But it still seems to be figured out how easy or difficult will it be for me to switch. I have to start building these competencies and probably I should aim at getting an A in Financial Accounting.
On the ISB Radio there was an interview of Prof Piyush Kumar. It was a nice interview and learnt a few good things about the prof. He has keen interest in Comedy and is infact writing a script for a movie! In his message for the students, he asks the students to be good managers rather than being good students. He wants us to be doers and know knowers. He says, doers hire knowers. An interesting thought!!
