It just doesn’t feel like the term started this week… Term4 - known as the term to party – I guess the ASA sensed this in the previous batches… hence the usual 6 week term has been reduced to only 5 weeks… classes till Friday every week to complete the 20 hours per course in 4 weeks!
The courses this term are:
Investment Analysis (IA) by Prof. A Subramanyam
Management of Organisations (MO) by Ramnarayan & Tina Dacin
Strategic Analysis of Information Technology (SAIT) by Rajiv Banker
Government, Society & Business (GSB) by Mudit Kapoor & A K Shivakumar
Unlike the other terms, only IA this term is quantitative… Having three faf (essay writing ;-) ) courses this term, I am struggling to keep myself awake in class! Prof. Mudit Kapoor makes the GSB class interesting but the MO class is the worst of the lot… I have no idea of what is happening and the prof has given 2 assignments in 2 days… too boring!
This week, my group has the SAIT presentation on the ‘Value Creation and Appropriation in the PC industry”. Two to three groups have to present on the topics given in each class and my group has been chosen by the prof. to do the first presentation… though we did not ask for this topic, it is good that we would complete the major assignment in the first week itself. Disadvantage – have been having sleep less nights from the first day of the term. Haven’t worked so hard in the first week of any term – already have 4 assignments to be submitted before Friday!

...i am sure that eventually you will look back and feel happy that you had to work hard right in the first week itself...!
may the lord be with you
agree with you completely on the MO part. really struggling to survive with bodies falling down on all sides ... i mean struggling to stay awake with people falling asleep all around me.
