Corporate Financial Accounting is fast becoming one of my favorite classes. One thing i am certain is that, CFA is one class i don’t get to feel the pressure of doing an MBA. It is complicated and easy at the same time. Three things i see contributing to this are:
- The Teaching Style : Our facilitator, Mr Frances has an interesting way of teaching that accommodates every student and doesn’t make him look like the most brilliant in the room. He ensures everyone is heard and goes out of his way to get the people who would normally be silent through the class to participate. Every question is answered by a student. We have two categories of students “The Consultants whose response to questions asked, complicates the question even further’ and ‘The Normal People” who usually would ask the most interesting questions in class…according to Mr Frank. Glad i fall into the latter
- Being an Entrepreneur : This class is currently the most relatable class to my life as a business owner. I see the direct correlation with lessons taught and what is happening in my business. I apply examples to the nature of my business and my industry, making it easier for me to understand. looking through a financial statement, balance sheet and cashflow isn’t foreign to me anymore as they used to be. In summary, every aspect of the CFA course is relatable. That makes a world of different.
- Class Interaction : The CFA class has contributed alot in helping me know and connect with other students. The level of participation is high both in response to the questions asked and in the chat box. Many students are willing to help out anyone who may be feeling lost.
As we come to the end of week four, i feel really grateful. Grateful that i am on this journey. Grateful for new experiences. Grateful for feeling lost and finding my way back. Grateful for writing my experiences and sharing it with you.
Looking forward to incredible week six.
Accounting is for everyone.
