Too long since the last post. Sorry about that!
We're 3/4 of the way through the "spring" class. It's Managerial Economics, and it's entirely online -- no campus sessions for this one. Between the text book, the weekend chat sessions and the online lectures, it's a very comprehensive course.
I had some economics in my undergrad, but I'm learning a whole host of new information and skills in this practical approach to economics in business.
Today was a good example of how functional the distance learning structure can be. I'd been reviewing slide from the chat session and thumbing through my book, but just couldn't solve a problem in this week's homework assignment.
After 40 minutes of being stumped, with the onset of growing frustration, I decided to reach out for some assistance with my Cournot Duopoloy problems. I could have sent out an e-mail to classmates, posted a message on the course's e-board, or go 'old school' with a phone call to the professor.
I opted for the most direct route, and one phone call and a few minutes later the instructor had talked me through my error and gotten me back on track to finishing the assignment. Seems my algebra is a bit rusty this week, but all is good and well after a little guidance from the professor.
It's another example of the flexibility and functionality of this MAB program and why it is worth looking into.
