I am sorry that it has been awhile since I blogged…two of my courses were six-week courses and I had friends and family visiting so things have been hectic.
Korbel offers a handful of three credit courses so the students who want to take 18 credit hours are able to do so. Some of these courses are only six weeks because you’re only taking them for three credits. This is the case for my Microfinance class and my Health and Response class. I finished my Microfinance final yesterday…whew, what a relief. As part of the final, I was given a scenario in which I was a consultant for an MFI. I needed to advise them on the risks that need to be considered when managing an MFI and a set of tools to manage this risk. I am still working on my final paper for Health and Response and I am hopeful that I will be able to finish it tomorrow! I need to move on to my next and LAST final paper of my graduate school career.
The job search is moving forward. My last career class was yesterday, overall the six-week course was very helpful. It focused on the entire process, starting with identifying your strengths, networking, resumes, cover letters, interviews and negotiations. It has given me an action plan on how to proceed with my job search!
It is hard to believe that I only have three weeks of school left. I am trying to make the most of it and stay focused on my classes!
