Prof Goldenberg's class was absolute bliss. We spent an entire lecture discussing simple and compound interest. His lecture was interspersed with his very unique sense of humor. The laughter usually follows a while after he's made his point. He even remarked that the Class is a place to practice his art at becoming a stand-up comic. The good thing is that he doesn't believe in teaching what the book encourages - using the calculator. Our session today was entirely on how the numbers are calculated, and not on what the answer is. I was a little impatient because these are the numbers that we've been playing with since the 8th grade. So I observed his style. Its well-paced and it explains the fundamentals. I now have hope that I might actually be able to appreciate Finance once we graduate to topics that intimidate me.

The BIET class was a rage. We had an intense discussion on disruptive innovation, incremental innovation, and radical innovation. Gina kept pushing us to answer Why, How? It got everyone involved. We also had conference calls with 5 guest speakers who're working on possible 'products of the future' and need us MBAs to get involved. These calls went on till 930PM, yet one could sense the enthusiasm as the speakers spoke. It was pure passion at play.
