This is an interim post, this is not associated with any week, and I think as a "Diary" for myself this post is important to myself and any student that might take the Cranfield MBA who has an outlook like me.
Throughout term 1, I had a feeling that the subjects were necessarily a repetition of what I had learnt in may of the courses that I had taken earlier and also term 2, was half prepared... in the sense that I had read about 5 forces and about NPVs and IRRs, this post however is slightly pessimistic about taking that approach, I think this is a mistake that I have done in this MBA, this not only denied me an opportunity to learn these stuff from top-of the world faculty but also denied me an opportunity to learn stuff that was built around it, I mean areas that were not part of any academic program that I had attended, I know it sounds irresponsible, but thats the way it is, sitting here preparing for term 2 exams I feel that I missed a lot of academic content.
Another point of view about this missing "action" is that in teams that I participated, my role was just muted, and in term 2 many of our team members had a similar thought process and I think we shaped the team work very individualistically to say the least.
I think term 3 and 4 provide me an opportunity to make up, but for me, if I were to do the MBA back again, I will do it much more seriously if not for the learning, just for the sake of it. I think recording this is important now to reconcile where I stand at the end of this year. I hope I will make myself proud by saying that I put in 100% into each of the subjects that I learnt. Be competitive, it does not hurt... and make sure it does not hurt others... that I think is the other extreme... of being self learning focussed and damage others' learning...
