First of all...Apologies for the delay in updating my blog. First time, First term... Exams and no time to blog. I know this is not an excuse, but I was helpless. Yesterday, we finished our Term-I exams. So by now, I am a 12.5% MBA............ LOL...........

At this context....I would like to share a few insights about our Term-I Faculty.....with you alll.....
My MBA journey started with the 'Financial Accounting' class of Prof. MarkFinn, Kellogg. Prof. Mark Finn is one of the best Professors that ISB can offer .. Yes.. ... He is "The Best".He is such a wonderful Professor, very humble and always ground to earth with ever lasting smile on his face......and wonderful command on the subject.......... I just could not believe at times............ I was fortunate to talk a couple of times in his Class.....
Then Comes "Managerial Economics". This subject was taught by Two Professors, each shared half the term.
Prof. Amit Bubna-ISB, who taught the first part has two distinguished qualities, which I liked the most. His Passion on the subject and his Dynamism. He pours such an amount of energy in the class with his lecture and makes all of us....active throughout. His surprise quizzes, games and "The Economist" contest and a lot more.....shows his devotion towards the subject.
Prof.Rakesh Vohra-Kellogg, the God of Economics I can say. He took all the classes without a single PPT. Using just a small piece of paper with some toy stories, he explained the intricacies and enormities of Game Theory. Thanks, ISB for bringing such a great professor for such a tough subject.
Statistics: Both Prof. Bob Stine and Prof. Waterman - from Wharton. Both of them showered the entire class with their Subject. Especially Prof. Stine with the Null Hypothesis and Prof. Waterman with Multiple regression.
God! How energetic they are and what command they have? They are simply phenomenal.
Marketing: The another synonym for the word 'Marketing' is Prof. Jagmohan Raju, Wharton. His timely wits and deep knowledge in the subject blended together and gave a wonderful experience .
The best thing to watch out is his "Photo Cold Calling". The class starts with questions about what we learnt in the previous class and the student whose photo gets flashed on the screen has to answer the question asked. Ofcourse..........if the student cannot answer it, he can nominate some one to answer the question....... But Poor Girl M - was nominated most of the times as she was an acting CR of our section. As days pass by, some students stop recognizing their own faces.

The first half of Marketing was taught by Prof. Ansari, Columbia. He is very cool and composed.. The best part is that he handled even the toughest Post-Lunch, sleepy sessions with his timely jokes and one line punches and made the entire class active.

Overall.....................The Professors are Gods in their respective fields and they did a Phenomenal job..............


Term-I ends........
