Mba Programme : A Different Experience For Me

After we found each other we introduce ourselves to the leader who was at the main desk and proceed to sit down and participate in the meeting. A few people approached and greeted us, it was a friendly environment, but it did not mitigate my anxiety for the unknown. I was concerned that I could make someone uncomfortable by being there with my badge from Miami University like an outsider performing a study of human beings so I tried to be as quiet as possible and just being a spectator who tries to understand the struggles that many people like the members of the meeting go through day after day. It was interesting to see that when the leader open the room for discussion only one person raise his hand to participate, but after it many more feel open to share their concerns and worries, it was like the necessity to get what press them out of their chest so they can feel some relief. I was amazed to see the amount of support and caring that people of the group express to each other, it was like a big family where all members support and carry each other during the harder times. Many spoke of how they do not want to come back to be users and how hard it is to live their life being

Ben’s age is a very important factor which can affect his decision to get an MBA degree.

My overall take on this workshop is actually quite interesting. My group had only one male at the table, so we did turn to him to ask him what would he do during a time like this. I happened to be the oldest at the table, other than the counselor who sat with us. I truly wish that high schools would do this type of an exercise, because the one skit my table had was based on a high school

In terms of how much the average person discussed their ideas and thought, I believe I did very well. I noticed that during the session there were two people who talked the most: the to being Amanda and Max. In terms of words used by a person i believe i had the the third most, right under them. I tried to show some leadership in the group by posing questions, and I also gave other people opportunities to talk and share their ideas. I wasn't very interruptive and i asked other people to talk to get other people's ideas out.

During the peer consulting I decided to locate a comfortable space and test the audio settings before starting the session. At the beginning, I realized I was extremely nervous because describing a challenge others may not understand is always hard. However, instead of adopting a defensive posture, I tried my best to not stereotype and assume my teammates had the best intentions while hearing my situation. Additionally, one of the first things I noticed was how different we were. While one of my teammates lived in Vermont, the other one lived in Boston. Additionally, anyone spoke Spanish or were immigrants. For that reason, it was a moment of vulnerability for me since I wondered how anyone would be able to relate to my story. However, after

Good afternoon, I’d like to make an order of ___________(88) CDs of the _____ (70) and ______(80). I would like to have them before ______________________(02/20). Take note if it arrives after (five thirty p.m). ________, we will not be able to recibe them. I need ____________ (3/5) of the order to be from The Beatles, ___________(1/5) of the Bee gees and ____________(1/5) of ABA. If you are able to make me a discount I’m able to pay before _____________ (02/01). My purchase has a total of $(twelve five hundred thirty-two with 5 cents)_____________. If the discount is more of _______________(1/8) of my purchase I’m willing to do deal with you.

Hence it can be seen that still the best option for Ben would be to get an MBA from Wilton University as it has the highest NPV value. However his decision on whether to borrow the money or not might get affected.

Self-admittedly, I stayed very passive in the construction of the presentation. It was our first time working in a group dynamic, and i wasn't sure how we would mesh or who was going to take what role. Instead of being a leader and stepping up, I hoped someone else would. At meetings I would work on my own presentation, but could have done so much more in terms of aiding my teammates with visuals as well as arguments and facts for their presentations. In taking a passive role, I found myself distanced from the group and at points saw myself as the odd man out. Being scored the lowest in my group for this presentation, hurt me on a personal level. I vowed that this would no longer be the case. In the Macy's competition, I really tried

Me being a shy quiet person presentations were somewhat difficult for me. The way I would present a presentation would be thru my photography, my pictures told the story. However, as I matured the shyness went away and I found talking came easy. I was asked by a friend that worked in public relations at the Boston Globe Newspaper if I would like to give a presentation about the best ways to create memories by way of photography, producing great pictures to a group of high school student (Fontbonne Academy) that were going on a trip. At first I was reluctant being shy and all, but I agreed. I must admit it was a wonderful experience, never did I feel nervous. My presentation was about an hour long, I used visuals along with speaking. I continued

Tensions were rising it was the final day for preparations, and everyone was nervous including me. Weeks and dedicated work and time had been allocated to this very moment, and failure wasn't an option. Everyone's presentation was pristine not only when delivering their project but also when they were talking to the

The panel discussion assignment was an overall positive experience as it helped me develop a number of teamwork and communication skills. Initially I was feeling very unsure and anxious about having to speak in front of the tutorial class because I don’t feel as if I am the most confident speaker and I also had a few reservations about the “team work” component as it was the first time I had worked with this group and had no idea what to expect, however overall it was a positive experience as I quickly found out that I was working with a group of people who were equally as determined and motivated as complete this assignment to the best of their ability. I believe we worked well as a group as we set out clear due dates for when our information

My group and I were able to work effectively to create the group presentation. We were able to do this through having strong communication skills when working together to create the scenario. When we all first met for the first time, we were willing to get to know each-other, especially those with different backgrounds and interests (Hall, 2005). By doing this,

Personally, I felt that this first group was a tough experience for me today. I felt like I could really relate to everyone, but that it was too painful at this time for me to go deeper into the first topic, which was related to father relationships, estrangement, and alcoholism. I believe that since this is my first group it is relatively normal to have some reservations and fears related to this. I wanted to be able to be more open and jump into the conversation more, but I felt like in this session it was better to be a listener. I will try harder next week to open up and give some of my own insights because I believe deep down that I can help others in the group if I do so. I am not usually a person who likes to have attention or the spotlight on me, but in the group I think it is important to put my ideas out there for all members and myself. I was holding back this week and next week I want to try harder to let myself speak up.

The MBA program is a new field of study to me, as I have no experience in this filed. I may have encountered some of the aspects of MBA through work, but I am not able to define any of it in a professional way.

Ben Bates graduated from college six years ago with a finance undergraduate degree. Although he is satisfied with his current job, his goal is to become an investment banker. He feels that an MBA degree would allow him to achieve his goal. After examining schools, he has narrowed his choice to either Wilton University or Mount Perry College. Although internships are encouraged by both schools, to get class credit for the internship, no salary can be paid. Other than internships, neither school will allow its students to work while enrolled in its MBA program.
