I have Received my Accounting Course

It took a while because of the Easter break, but last week I received my MBA Accounting course text from EBS!  So now I have all that I need for my first year (Marketing and Accounting).  I have done the first module in just over an hour — not sure if that’s standard for Accounting — I’ll find out soon.

Anyway, in comparison to other accounting that I’ve done at school and university (I did first year Accounts at University of Port Elizabeth for my B.Com), it seems to be far more geared around using accounting information and understanding it rather than producing it.  I’m glad about that and I’m looking forward to getting into it.

This is what Marketing Looks Like!

I thought I’d take a photo of what the Marketing course text looks like.

Here’s a side view of 800 pages worth of text!.

Timing Sheet

So I’m well into the Marketing module now.  I’m about half way through Module 3 of 20.  I’m recording all my time on a timing sheet as you can see in the photo below…

Timing sheet

What this allows me to do is see how much time I am spending on each module, e.g. 5hrs 10mins for Module 1, and use this data to predict how long I need for the rest of the module.  I would recommend this to all EBS MBA’ers as it provides some level of data on your progress.
