My apologies for totally neglecting this blog. Second year so far has been considerably less hectic than first. Half the hour of classes, twice the time to finish a semester/quarter of material. Here are my thoughts on my classes:
- Corprate Financing – The proff makes this course GREAT. Professor Irwin has extensive real world experience and a no-BS attitude. I’m sure to learn a lot (and be challenged) by this course.
- Entrepreneurship – This will be one of my favorite classes. It just seems like there will be lots of useful discussions on topics that will help entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs alike. I’m looking forward to writing a biz plan/feasibility study for a new venture. Should be cool.
- E-biz strategies – Probably not the best choice in the world. The 8-hours of classes, one day a month is really painful. The stuff we’ve learned so far would be useful if I wasn’t a total tech nerd but unfortunate for me…
- Management Science – Again, probably not the best choice in the world. The course would be useful if I wasn’t an engineer and didn’t find the material very (so far).
- Real Estate Economics – Another great course. This course is taught by Dr. Strange who is also the co-editor of Journal of Urban Economics so we learn a lot! He’s also a great teacher and the material strikes me as useful for thinking about non-real estate problems.
I’ll try to post something more substantial in the future but I’m just enjoying the relaxed lifestyle a little too much right now.
