Term 1 Observations

August 30th, 2008 by Umer · No Comments

Term 2 started yesterday, and I still haven’t been able to post my thoughts on term 1! Actually, I technically wrote this entry BEFORE the first class in term 2 started (at 8:30am yesterday), but was unable to post it because I forgot my blog password. Clearly, I don’t post often enough! Things have been […]

Term 1 - Looking back

August 17th, 2008 by RVD · 2 Comments

If you look over at the categories area of this blog (on the left side right now), you will see a category for “Term 1.” Well, this is officially my last blog posting that is tagged as “Term 1″!
Looking back at term 1, it’s hard to believe that it’s already over. It’s […]

Term 1 Over!

August 17th, 2008 by RVD · No Comments

Congrats to the class for finishing our last final today.  I think there are a few students who were not able to take finals yet so they will be making them up.  But for the majority of the class, we’re done!
I’m not sure how or when we get our grades but hopefully we all did […]

One final done. One more to go. Last Accounting Lecture.

August 15th, 2008 by RVD · 2 Comments

MGEC final is over!  I took the final the morning.
Tomorrow is the Accounting final.  Everyone is definitely a lot more worried about that one.  I’ve been here on this blog mentioning the difficulty of accounting since midterm 1 and I mentioned a lot more after midterm 2.  I wasn’t quite sure if other students were […]

Finals!

August 14th, 2008 by RVD · No Comments

Good luck everyone with finals!  I haven’t studied nearly enough because I had a really busy week at work.  I’ve been working until 8pm or so every day and coming home to have a quick dinner and trying to fit in as much study time as I could but it didn’t work out so well.  […]

I know that there are a lot of prospective students who read this blog.  If you are thinking of applying to Wharton, the best way to get a feel for the program is to visit the campus, sit in on a class, and talk to some students.
However, if you are not in Northern California, then […]

Term 1 - (Most) Lectures Completed. Finals remaining.

August 3rd, 2008 by RVD · 1 Comment

I think everyone agrees that term 1 went pretty fast.  We finished our lectures for management and managerial economics this past session.  We have 1 lecture left in Accounting.
Management class is over.  I really enjoyed that class.  I did hear a lot of complaints from some students that it was just too soft and they […]

Class Profile

July 30th, 2008 by RVD · No Comments

Hopefully most of you read the “official” Wharton MBA for Executives blog.  It is at http://www.whartonexecutivemba.com/whartonexecutivemba_blog/.  Although I like to think that I write more of an entertaining blog, that link is the official blog so it should also be read regularly.
I found it interesting that they updated it with our class profile.  Up until […]

cell phones, text messaging, PDAs

July 30th, 2008 by RVD · No Comments

I wrote an entry a few months ago comparing the various PDAs that are available.  Since I work with various mobile phones every day, I can’t help but check out the phones that our classmates are using.
Since many of us are corporate employees, I think by far the most common PDA is the Blackberry (Curve) […]
