This blog entry is dedicated to the unconventional and enriching experience that was the SM-2 course in term 4. The course and its delivery brought me out of my comfort zone. It challenged me intellectually and taught me how to think on my feet. The unconventional 'spiral' method of pedagogy adopted by the professor, Sandeep Mann, taught me how to link together various pieces of relevant information into one coherent whole. Attending SM-2 classes made me realize that any business problem needs to be approached holistically from different points of view. The analogy of a consultant to a doctor really resonated with me and I attempted to develop a surgeon's eye for observation and analysis of the case provided.
Tackling the professor's unorthodox posers in class gave me the confidence to conduct a detailed and thorough analysis of any given problem. The professor stressed how one can link different pieces of information into one streamlined unit that provides a crisp and comprehensive analysis of any situation.
Both the mid-term and the end-term exams were doses of the same medicine dealt out by the professor in class- tackling any unconventional problem using the knowledge and tools at your disposal. A question paper in which one frames questions rather than giving answers was a stroke of genius. However, this paled in comparison to the googly that was the end term exam. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be writing my own biography in the exam. The end term exam was a fair reflection of the entire SM-2 course as a whole- unconventional, immensely challenging, intellectually stimulating and guaranteed to get one into the 'consultant mode'. It was a roller-coaster ride but by the end of it I'm glad I was on it.
