4 Weeks down 12 more to go.

After about a month of classes, I think it is time for a little self-reflection and evaluation of my performance in the MBA program. I will first start with Research and Analysis class that I have so far really enjoyed. While I am not crazy about the textbook, Dr Lane does a great job of giving in class instruction. The book is more of a review however; I will definitely need to review Chapter 3 since I have not had statistics since 2003. I enjoy the assignments, as they are not too difficult but require putting some though into them. I believe I will continue to do well in this class.
Next up is Managerial Accounting, which for some odd reason I really enjoy. Dr Little does an excellent job of going over the materials and demonstrating different problems. The class assignments really reinforce the skills he discussed. The first test was challenging but in my belief we were fully prepared. I am happy with my grade but know that I can do better.
Org behavior is another class that I enjoy because it is the most applicable to me. I can relate several of the topics we discuss in class to my time in the Army. The book is not a difficult read and flows from one point to the next. the only issue I have is that is not enough discussion and applications used to reinforce what we read. I hope as the course progresses that we will be able to actually see the principles in use and see examples of how they affect organizations.
Lastly is Applied Microeconomics, which to say is my least favorite class. It has nothing to do with Dr Borland; the class is not that exciting. I will have to keep on my toes in this class since are grade is only compiled of three test. I always stride for my best but I will definitely settle for a B in this class.
