Oct-11 shall mark the start of the second time I teach MKTR at the ISB. There is only a touch of nervousness this time, unlike the flood of it last time. Hopefully, things will go smoothly.
Mistakes were made in the first edition. I trust those will be steered clear of this time. Am equally sure despite all efforts new stumbles will happen again this time. The cycle continues. Perfection is ever-elusive, anyway.
Am busy with updating the lecture slides, making caselets, prepping quizzes, the works. That explains the rather slim course manual this time. And that's fine too. A good part of the course manual last time didn;t find use. The relevant bits this time will be delivered as hard-copy in the classroom.
Research work, at a crucial stage in a couple of projects, will now perforce have to tone down. Can't escape the feeling that, well, if I had one more week, I'd have been able to do this and that within that time and send 'em papers out only. That feeling is always there and is probably false comfort.
Feedback from last year I have tried to incorporate - primarily the Indianizing of content, the standardization of software used, a streamlining of the project timetable, and a rebalancing of statistical analysis with qualitative insights. Time will tell how this goes.
Chalo, signing off for now. Adios.
