Pursuing a degree in business has been a lifelong dream. Understanding the concepts, formulas, and processes necessary to be effective and accurate weather it was a personal business or a corporation that offered employment is a goal that has been on the “to do” list for many years. When the opportunity to take this class presented itself, thinking twice about it was not an option. However, prior to taking this class the assumption was made that it was going to be just another math class that was a speed bump on the way to the ultimate goal of achieving the MBA. Six weeks later it has been proven over and over again that the prior assumption was completely wrong. In the past year while pursuing the MBA, I have also been looking for meaningful employment. Several potential options have been offered yet nothing that would be considered meaningful stood out. When it was least expected, a great opportunity presented itself approximately two months ago. The position that was offered was as a Consultant at a fortune five-hundred company. Without a complete understanding of what the positions duties and responsibilities consisted of, I immediately started researching to find out what would be expected. As the research revealed, part if the duties and responsibilities consisted of comparing and growing individual business by comparing the productivity of the previous years and advising the owners and operators on how to improve and become more profitable. The amazing part of the entire process is when the interview for the position finally came to be. It was after the third week of the class. About half of the questions that were asked by the interviewer consisted of the topics and subjects covered in the class within the first three wee... ... middle of paper ... ...describe and relay the desired information to their readers. Shortly after taking this class, it became apparent that this class offered more than what was initially expected. Learning the formulas, concepts, and processes necessary to solve the equations became more valuable than one could ever imagine. The position as a Consultant that was applied for was offered and accepted because of the information that was taught and the understanding that was gained in the class. This class was and will continue to be instrumental in providing the much needed information necessary to accomplish the task that are a requirement in this position and I am forever grateful to Professor Raymond for the patience and style displayed in his teaching of this class.

I found this case study particularly interesting; in retrospect this class would have been extremely helpful prior to starting my husband’s business. I now see the importance of having a clear financial plan and projection, along with a strong command of your market share. My husband and I have been able to muddle through the areas were did not know or understand in running a business, but prior knowledge would have been a valuable
When explaining the topic, I was completely lost and had trouble catching up but as soon as there was a demonstration, I soon caught on and was able to complete each equation with confidence.
As I planed to take this class, I thought this course would be like all other general education courses. I believed that it would be of little use to me. However, after attending the first class, my view has changed completely. I applied each and every theory to my life.
Therefore, I hope that I can achieve many new valuable experiences as well as friendships through this class. As a student, I believe I have the responsibilities to pay attention in class, and contribute to the class as much as I can. Besides, I need to ensure that I finish homework before coming to class and seek for help when needed. My goal is to become a successful business woman, who has the opportunities to work with different countries and cultures around the world. I am confident that this class will help improving my analytical and organizing skills, which are helpful and beneficial for my career in the

What is the most important concept that you learned in this class? Write this for a reader who is unfamiliar with the concept.
To conclude I’d like to say that something I’ll remember from this class years from now would be the great class experience. Everyone was very accepting and non-judgmental during the course of our class. Even when having to present in front of the class (one of my least favorite things to do) I didn’t feel that nervous, which is rare. I’ll forever be changed by the knowledge I’ve gain from this class because before I would have never imagined so many therapeutic accomplishments could become of group work. I plan to use this course quite a bit in my future career and hopefully help many people by the means of group work.
I am not going to lie this class was my hardest it felt like I didn’t know what was going on at all time. It not like I wasn’t learning anything in there is just that I didn’t really get the class at all. Every time went on Capsim to do work I never get anything do because I didn’t know what I was doing. Is not like I didn’t like the class the class I just us doing the Capsim online was hard for some people because they didn’t know what to do. Next semester I think the class should be thought like microeconomic because more people we will it better. Another idea I was thinking was we could do a field trip to some business meetings even though I know students in college don’t do feel trip. The feel trip will give us an ideal of what a real

When we were first given this assignment I had not put much consideration into it. I thought we were to ask a couple of questions, it would all work itself out and I would be done. But this was not the case. The thought and reflection put into interview questions really surprised me. There was far more factors other than the questions you were asking, because you were also dealing with people, people who are giving you there free time, their attention and opening themselves up to you a stranger, so there were far more responsibilities then what were initially at hand.
Second, after my educational are completed I will focus of finding a job where I can advance into business management and gain the necessary experience required to become a college professor in the business area. I would like to stay with my current employer, but transfer to another higher paying position that will give me the skills and experience that will be give me advancement opportunities.
What do you expect to learn from this course that will help you develop in the areas you’ve identified?
The author Ken Lakuta (date unknown) once wrote, “Opportunities exists in the air for just a few minutes. If you don’t obey your gut feeling right away, you’ve lost your chance” (Brown, quoting Lakuta, date unknown, p.3). I do not want to miss my chance! I intend to seize the moment and finish the courses necessary to obtain my master’s of business administration for many reasons. With the tools the University has made available to me such as “rEsource”, learning team environment, and problem-based learning I will successfully complete this program and achieve my goal.
The new year begins and Learning Strategies is on your schedule. Truly, you are probably not knowing what to expect and you think that this class is not for you. Boy, are you wrong. This class will save you plenty of time, so you better listen closely. At the end, you will leave the class wondering why no one ever showed me this. So listen up! The three most useful things that I learned in this class are: my learning style, how to take notes when reading a textbook, and how to be a more successful student at college.
Business finance has taught me how to manage risk and return as well as making capital investment decisions throughout the semester. Professor Schott has gone through each chapter carefully well making sure that each student grasps each concept before moving on. He has used many tools such as LearnSmart, lectures and homework assignments to make sure that us students have a good idea of the concept before giving us exams.
