As I geared up to join BSchool, my mind had vivid impressions of what BSchool life would be like! During interviews I responded to "Why MBA?" with answers such as learning through case studies, group discussions, guest lectures, et al. I had my imagination and impressions of what BSchool classes would be like.. all serious blokes throwing up industry jargon that might be greek to novice souls like mine.
One of the best aspects of the unconventional learning in class is that it doesn't feel like a burden to learn these concepts! Meaningful lessons and highly researched theories come across to as obvious through the observation and games. This helps us drill the concepts in our heads the first time itself and the hands on experience ensures that we understand their application in the real world scenario.
However our Organisational behaviour & Human Resource (OBHR) class turned this impression around! Our Professor "Mandi" as he is fondly called after his pet project introduced us to the practical and innovative way of learning. We haven't had a single class where he hasn't demonstrated very crucial concepts through simple yet amazingly innovative practical ideas.
May it be tower building to understand co-operation between people, or the three monks video to understand team work, the magic cube to understand how squares and cubes were derived to designing posters to understand what can catch the eye!

I feel extremely fortunate that I can get this level of learning at one of the premier BSchools in India- in my Bschool, National Institute of Industrial Engineering ( NITIE ). Will post details of what and how I learn it soon in successive posts!
Next time, let's unearth a slogan implicit with mandi "Socho Seekho Becho"!
Adios!
