They said it’s hard, and you should believe it

This is what I want to say to myself about choosing one of the hardest finance classes offered in Baylor, and that is entrepreneur finance.

The parts that make it hard were not the regular “finance” areas. First, it required a lot of memorization. It’s almost ironic that this class is called finance but half of the exam comes from pure memorization of several books and articles. Without a good photo memorization skill, I had a hard time to remember all the topics. Second, it is hard to understand the wording of the questions in the exam. When a question has several ways of interpreting what the instructor is really trying to ask you, you know you will not do well if you don’t prepare yourself enough. Sadly with an 18 hours graduate school work and job hunting, I don’t have the luxury of figuring out how the instructor likes to ask questions. Same reason I can’t deal with last minute change in the schedule or solution to the questions that can possibly showed in the exam because of my crazy Monday schedule. As a student, I know I need to work hard to reach the goal and I absolutely have no reason to complain about a very smart and kind instructor, but if given another chance, this probably would be a class I chose at a different time of my MBA study to make sure that I have enough time to prepare myself better for this class. Upon this point, I got my average second exam back on the last day of class and was expecting a Saturday final that covers majority of the class contents, I can only say I hope I’ll get a C in this class and get out of here. Wish me luck….
