Intensive learning

Three weeks into the classes, 30% of term-1 behind me, I am breathless.
There is a mountain of learning, and feels as if only a molehill is sinking in.

The professors are world-class. Never saw finance from these angles. Nor economics. 
Love the strategy and marketing classes where it is more interactive than a knowledge dump on us!

We get our weekly dosage of laughs in micro-economics class. Secretly I think that professor might be resenting having students who don't understand the nitty-gritty of economics well, and craves to have a discussion on much more equation-atorial levels! 

One of my classmates even launched a blog which captures professor's quotes in the class:


[And that is entrepreneurial spirit. Try out your idea immediately. This blog is a hit in the class! 
And if you think that is a bleak example of innovation, another plans to build and launch a new, and "greener" airport in Spain, in competition to the existing ones! We have the entrepreneurial-project weekend coming-up where different ideas will be pitched. Look forward to that!]

Well, today in the same class, we were told that there is no nobel prize for mathematics as nobel's wife had an affair with a mathematician. Good for a laugh, but how much value to hear rumors in economic class... a question which is on the flip side of the coin.

Overall, after earlier 18years of education in Asia, I like this intuitive approach to teaching here in Europe.

Back to studies and wrapping up last week's assignments...
