A bit of this and a bit of that

I’ve just spend the whole weekend studying for my Negotiation and Influence exams. They’re actually quite interesting, with my favourite section so far being on streetwise negotiation. It’s interesting to see what techniques used car salesmen and foreclosure help specialists will use to try and get you to use their service. The texts however also [...]

Camille and Arthur have flown to Malta today for a wedding of a family friend. I decided not to join them, partly because I want to save up my holidays and partly because I REALLY need to get down and study hard for my final 2 MBA exams in the first week of June. [...]

Yesterday I found out I got a B in my Organisational Behaviour exam, which means I only have 2 exams left to finish my MBA. I must say, I’m getting tired of the pressure now, so I’ll be pleased to get it over and done with. Though I’m sure that once it’s done I’ll probably [...]

Hmmm, it’s amazing how fast time flies when you’re havin fun .. and when you’re not! You see, I have an exam in a couple of weeks (Organisational Behaviour) andI’m doing my best to get through my books and start working past papers. The problem is that there’s not much time before the exams, and [...]

Another approach to remote studying is one that is used by http://www.mcintoshcollege.edu/ (another website I came across). While some schools let you download books and proceed at your own pace, Mcintosh College organises virtual classes so people can meet up electronically and have lessons together. It’s an interesting idea that pulls back the social element [...]

*chuckle* Don’t you love it when you finish off a post, then find there were other things you wanted to add? As soon as I finished my previous post about IADT in Chicago, i noticed they had a site called http://online.academy.edu/ which offers some cool stuff for people studying there. I particularly liked MobiClass that [...]

Since I’ve been doing my MBA, I’ve been keeping a look out at how different educational institutions use the Internet not only to market their services, but also to provide facilities for their students to learn and interact with one another. I’ve been surprised at the range and scope of different schools and courses online. [...]

I only have around 1 week left before my Project Management exam. I should be able to get a good grade, but I don’t think I know the material in enough detail to get an A. I’m working through past papers at the moment, but it’s taking time and I don’t seem to have enough [...]

Well, I’m supposed to be studying, but I need a break, so I thought I’d take some time out and blog a bit. It’s not quite the same as talking to someone, but in a way, I’m talking to a number of people, so it feels good. It’s great that I can study online for [...]

I might have posted previously that I have a Project Management exam in December? Well, I’ve been coming in early to work so I can study a bit before the day starts. Unfotunately, I’ve been having varying levels of success. The main problem is that there’s so much to read on the Internet I get [...]
