Wharton MBA for Executives

Professor Smetters put up the lecture notes for the next 3 sessions (lecture 7, 8, 9) on webcafe so download it if you haven’t done so already.  My printer purchase (as recommended by John Kim in class 32) is awesome.  I used it to print out all of the new lecture notes and it prints in duplex!

I always knew that there would be a ton of work in this program.  After all, I never expected Wharton to just give you an MBA as long as you pay for it (it’s not Stanfurd…)  I know we’re only on our second session but it’s a lot of work.  We’ve already had ~25% of the classes for this term already since week 1 was so long and intensive.  I spent last week trying to catch up and become half proficient at accounting.  I’m still a long ways off…I played around with some practice problems and I was way way off.  This week I’ll spend some time with economics but all the formulas, derivates, acronyms, etc. are confusing.  And management?  So far so good but we have a writing assignment due on 6/21 (according to the syllabus).

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m really excited to go back to class again this weekend because I really do enjoy it.  We don’t have any major deliverables this weekend so it’s nice but the next 2 weeks are going to be STRESSFUL.  The 6/20 session has 2 midterms and a paper due!  Welcome to Wharton.
