Last lap

One more to go and that's it for another three weeks. Exam related stress induces in to a lot of binge activities the moment exams get over. I am planning to play a lot of Tennis, Badminton and Squash, watch a lot of movies, do some shopping and get set for CEIBS.

Term 3 appears to be more numerical than Term 1 and 2 and will definitely be more demanding. Another learning for me is that exams not only are useful to assess learning but are also highly beneficial in increasing penetration, retention and application. At the beginning, during preterms, I never understood mathematical notations and always preferred to write thing in normal and expanded ways. But after the amount of practice for DMOP and Marketing Decision Making, I am now able to understand and write complex mathematical notations.

One of the key takeaway is that exams should be used more extensively to maximize learner involvement. If there is enough motivation for the learner, exams can improve learning value of the course too. That brings me to another important aspect, which is learner motivation. Internal motivation and strong drivers have the biggest impact and cannot be achieved by any other method in the class. Even if the faculty/prof is the best in the world, without learner motivation, learning will be low.

Another 4 hours and our term break starts. But there is no remorse for me. I still have one more assignment to finish.

Next post would be about "What's so inspiring about inspiration" and then on term break adventures

Good luck and cheers to all the readers

It's exams time, once again, at ISB

It's that time of the month, once again. It's exams time at ISB. This time its the Term 2 end exams.

This term has been a real roller coaster ride. We had phenomenal professors and we had equally overwhelming topics to cover.

Today all of us will try to see how much can we apply what we learnt in a pressure situation. With the average marks increasing everytime, exams are stretching us to the limits.

It is time for me to remember that "This too shall pass".

It's time to wish "Best of luck" to everyone at ISB. While I'm typing this, I've started receving the good luck mails and I need to do my contribution too.
