One on the more difficult tasks to overcome is the workload an MBA program requires. Each course has a number of cases in addition to team related activities to be completed. Several of my classmates, including myself, also have work-related responsibilities including graduate assistant programs, work-study and off-campus jobs. Interestingly enough is the way various students reconcile the workload.
Some students diligently study each and every day for a set amount of time each day, these students tend to be the ones with little outside conflicts; per student. Others study throughout the week at various times and use the weekends to prepare all the deliverables for the upcoming week, these students tens to be the ones more engaged in outside committments. The last personality in the students that waits till the last minute and is often seen running to the computer lab to print out an assignment.
As we approach the half-way point in our ten week term I see many of my classmates starting to change their habits ... I guess they are realizing that this isn't an under-graduate program.
