MBA in Review: 2007 Term 1: Applied Statistics
Statistics was the only course that I got an A in the first year, so naturally I wanted to take the follow-up course to keep my streak going...
The course covered a lot of advanced statistical methods, such as Cross Validation, LASSO, Splicing, Neural Network, and many others. It is about 50% lecture and 50% lab. Since many of the methods require complex modeling and calculation, we also learned to use a statistical package called R. The final project is about looking for interesting data sets and use the learned methods to look for trends and predictions. Overall it's a good course to learn to grasp trends through looking at data and identifying relevant variables. It's a good way to validate one's business intuition with numbers

MBA in Review: 2007 Term 1: Entrepreneurial Finance
Term 2 is starting soon... better finish up writing my review before I forgot all about it.
Entrepreneurial Finance is a class specifically about how to plan/deal with financial instruments/information in an entrepreneurial context. The class is mostly lecture-based with various guest speakers in entrepreneurship-related industries, such as Angel, VC, Entrepreneurial laws, Leverage Buyout, etc.
What was interesting about this class wasn't really about what the professor taught, but the time when it was taught. In late 2007, sub-prime crisis is just hitting the US market, and we got to discuss a lot about entrepreneur opportunities and issues in such a trying time.
