This week we had term 2 exams, the common feeling was that people were less prepared than term 1, with the exception of PMAN, every other subject had some twists that the students did not expect. As far me, I did pretty well, considering the amount of preparation that I had prior to the exam. I think I might score near average (still a pinch below though) in all the subjects.
The lesson learnt from this week's exams and the marks that I have obtained is that, they are not completely random, it has some correlation with the amount of effort put in during a term. I think my efforts in term 1 were higher than my own effort in term 2, and that I think is the only reliable way of measuring this relationship.
We are flying to turkey during next week, and may be I might miss a weekly update for the first time, in case if I am not able to make a weekly entry, I will try and make it on the 7th, when we return as the week is going to be filled with fun activities.
Now comes the challenge, this week for the first time, I had a serious challenge in my MBA, we had some confusion over travel to MBAT and since I had arranged for a Flight travel and a reimbursement, many students, although not in a very mature manner, pointed fingers at me as to why I decided to be different, even though I was thrown off for a few moments, a few clarifying words and encouraging words from friends made me feel better. I did reply, though not very strongly, with my responses, I think its arrogance to say the least to not accept the fact that there is a difficulty and all this argument is for 20£ per head (max) of additional inconvenience to avoid more than half of us spending 100£ extra. Let us see how things shape up. I am going to deal with this pro-actively, even if it means taking some hard decisions. As long as there is no personal finger-pointing (which did happen last week in some cases), I am happy with the results.
