This is just to give you an idea about how things roll :) As a Full Time student, I am allowed to take a minimum of 3 courses to maintain the minimum 60% course load (3/5 = 60%). Alternatively, I could take 5 courses to maintain a 100% workload (5/5 = 100%). I am doing my own thing (yup, I have a mind of my own and always do exactly what I want, LOL. The important thing for me is to be comfortable with my learning experience and realllllllyyy understand my subjects. I do not want to rush it or feel rushed :) and taking 4 courses at 80% work load (4/5 = 80%).
So there, I have to attend classes for about 12 hours a week. Plus there are a ton of:
- Assignments - regular
- Readings - before classes and after classes
- Daily journal entries - for 1 course
- Regular problem solving and calculations / practice
- Presentations - one to 2 per term per subject on average
- Team assignments - on a regular basis
- Report writing - on a regular basis
- and so on
No Sir, the MBA is not a cake walk and is not for the faint hearted. When I was in Medical School, thought THAT was intense. Bull shit. An MBA is one of the MOST intensive programs in the world :)
My weekly schedule at 80% work load is as below:
Tuesday:
2 PM to 5 PM: Consulting Skills
6:30 PM to 9:30 PM: Healthcare Policies, Management
Wednesday:
6:30 PM to 9:30 PM: Finance related class
Thursday:
9 AM to 12 noon: Logistics & Supply Chain Management
