Well, two exams in one week marked the end of module 2: Statistics and Microeconomics. It was a start contrast in teaching styles by two different professors. Prof. McGill made a boring topic like statistics and made it seem interesting by continually referring to the real business applications of statistical methods. Prof. McHale, on the other hand, made the interesting topic of economics and made it seem really boring. You can't expect every professor to be great at classroom management, but I was really disappointed with how the economics class turned out.
I meant to post a blog last week, but I spent the weekend doing multiple regressions of housing data for North America. It was an interesting assignment. We had to use the regression technique to forecast real estate investment for the first two financial quarters of 2008.
The mad rush to finish the assignment in time was followed by a study session for the exam in the middle of the week. There wasn't any time to relax because we had to get to studying for the economics exam on Friday.
It was a pretty crazy week and I'm glad that it's over. No doubt, there's more craziness to come.
