Not sure you can get a permit for that lot, I pay the day rate.

If memory serves me correctly, I think that's 32? It's been a lot of years.

[killramos]

Yea it’s lot 32, day rate only from what I understand.

I’m only there twice a week outside of block weeks so the fee isn’t that painful.

I'm taking BSEN 751 block week - also in the evening MBA program. I'm sure I'll see you around for the core classes!

[BavarianBeast]

What's the demographic of the evening program like? The daytime program is about 70% international students, it's crazy.

Thinking about potentially changing into the evening program if I can..

[killramos]

It’s not 70% international students that’s for sure, we only get the occasional one trying to get into a course they missed or something.

More like 70% people working downtown.

Honestly taking tons of courses at night isn’t bad at all, I did that earlier in the year. And leaves you open to maybe pick up a part time consulting gig?

[BavarianBeast]

Good to hear. I've got a part time gig that keeps me busy when I have the time for it, but might be nice to put some more hours into it if I can free up my time during the day. Going to finish this semester and reassess, a lot of my peers that completed an MBA said that the networking aspects of it were the highlights. Tough to network with people who plan on going back to India or China when they're finished.

[killramos]

Definitely worth chatting with Micheline about if you are interested, I know they frown upon it but sounds like it might work out better for you?

Sucks a bit for the home life as you will probably be on opposite schedule with the wife but that’s the nature of things.

I was in that class too haha. What a joke of a class lol, fun simulation though

[killramos]

Just be glad you didn’t have to take BTMA 601... the enti course that you took replaces it and sounds wayyyy better.

My wife is a nurse and works a good split between days and nights. Might not be so bad!

I've scheduled a meeting next week to talk about a couple things.

Wondering if anyone has any tips for MGST 611 or MGST 613 (Modeling and ECON). They are the only courses I am struggling with now because I am terrible with excel and our prof for ECON is awful..

[killramos]

613 is one of the most valuable courses imo, those excel skills are insanely valuable long term.

What I recommend is do every aspect of the group assignments your self and only rely on group mates to check your answers. That way you can ensure you are learning everything and not miss some key aspect for the midterm.

Econ was a pretty terrible course. I have nothing.

[BavarianBeast]

Thanks kr.


Any tips for the modelling midterm? Open book, open internet.. Seems like it'll be pretty easy?

Bring in as many of the class example and assignment spreadsheets as you can and just base your asnswrds on those.

We didn’t have internet available for ours but sounds like a similar format. Make sure you aren’t trying anything for the first time on the exam.

We had this terrible decision tree macro we had to use that was so buggy it was kindof hilairous we were being tested on its use. Save often in case shit fucks it and you need to go back a few steps.

As for easy, it’s one of those things where people either get 100% or 70%, depends if you get it.

[BavarianBeast]

Thanks man. B- it is!

[killramos]

Just be glad you aren’t in the course I got conned into, BTMA 731. Description is business analytics, but apparently it’s all learning sql and VBA... legit writing code for the assignments and tests with a bunch of undergrads fml

[BavarianBeast]

That sounds horrible lol. What are you specializing in?

Would you like to join the Movember team I made for the Haskayne MBA? https://moteam.co/haskayne-mba-mo-vers-shakers

Everyone's welcome to join!

[killramos]

It’s properly horrible, and I would have dropped it if the drop deadline wasn’t 1 day after the course started lol.

I’m currently somewhere between finance and general depending on what is offered between now and June for electives.

I’ll let you know on Movember... it’s a special Kind of look in my case haha.
