It's now been two and a half weeks since classes started. I'm still in the adjusting stage of sorting out how much reading needs (not should) be done. Reading is definitely more important for case classes (i.e. it's tough to participate and learn anything if you haven't preped) but for other types of classes, particularly ones that are more familiar the reading becomes less important - at least in the near term as other deadlines, company presentations, and three or four billiard games seem much more pressing.
As for tonight, I need to prep Marketing Strategy - get caught up that is, and also skim Turbo notes prior to tomorrow's lecture.
I accomplished a lot this weekend, on most fronts including academics (i.e. classes), career (lots of personal reflection and resume improvement), relationships - hung out with people at the South Asian Business Group event, one on one dinner with a classmate in my cohort, and conversations with people throughout the day at Hyde Park Center (HPC) and on the bus over from Regents.
Thus far, I'm more convinced that relationships are about quality time - spending time with people to hear and share stories. I enjoy it best over dinner, a game, or some other neutral/bonding activities. Although, I think some of the best fun is in the groups - a small group of people teaming to accomplish the same objective...humor always makes it more fun! :)
Posted by Jeremy Showalter at October 11, 2004 09:16 PMDo they really call it a "cohort," or is that your descriptor for it? If so, that's cool. I always like to see words being used properly.
Posted by: Jacob at October 13, 2004 09:48 AMYes, it really is called a cohort (about 55 people), which is consistent across a number of b schools. Also, the smaller unit within the cohort is called a "squad" - 7 or 8 people.
