I started writing about my "MBA journey" in a section called Ameel's MBA Journal on my website. Relevant from that are the following:
- My reason for doing an MBA as explained through my application essays
- A quick overview of how the MBS MBA works
- What I did (and learnt) in my first term
To quickly recap, though, these are the courses that I have taken so far:
- World of Management (core) with Paul Dainty
- Accounting for Managers (core) with Jim Frederickson
- Data and Decisions (core) with Chris Lloyd
- Financial Management (core) with Sam Wylie
- Managerial Economics (core) with John Asker
- Managing People for High Performance (core) with Carol Gill
- Business Strategy (core) with Doug Dow
- Economics and Public Policy (core) with Ian Harper & Mark Crosby
- Managing Processes (core) with Kannan Sethuraman
- Marketing (core) with Jody Evans
- Corporate Finance (elective) with Ning Gong
And these are the ones that I am taking now:
- E-Commerce (elective) with Pat Auger
- Information Strategy (elective) with Pat Auger
- Leadership and Change (elective) with Amanda Sinclair
- Negotiations (elective) with John Onto
- Implementation of Strategy (elective) with Jack Goodwin
I am 5 weeks into this study term (all study terms are 12 weeks long) and my first three courses have already started. The last two are second-half intensives -- i.e. taught in half the time with double the number of classes per week -- and will start on Friday.
Now that I've set the scene, I can start talking about what we're doing in each of the courses I'm taking right now. I will do this in future posts, of course, and not all in this one!
