It has been some time since I have decided to write in this blog; the main reason was that well to be honest two of the last three courses I had very little interest to me.
The last course I took was Management Financial Resources & Performance, this was by far one of the most interesting and challenging courses so far in the program.The Professor made the topics interesting and very diverse set of cases made for classes that were a challenge. An update on some of the Cases I think would go along way though and maybe some more Asian Cases.
The cost of debt, the cost of capital, discounted cash flow and all the other good things that come up in Finance are all an interest to me and I wanted to learn more and test myself. It was easy to see that for a few people in my class this type of work was right up their alley and their comments were always informative and interesting, for me it was a challenge and I have to admit most of the time I was in over my head so I relied on my old tactic ask questions when you can and whenever you know an answer get you point in.
I even surprised myself a few times when the professor asked complicated question and I would get the right answer now only if I had raised my hand I could have really turned a few heads.
When we were doing our project our team cohesion really really shined. I did not pull my weight for this project and the other team members stepped up immediately and I am glad to be part of such a team.
I am so interested in this type of business and will try and branch out at my new job and incorporate what I have learned; some more self study will also push me to fully understand all the concepts.
I hope more classes are like this one in the future.
