Well, an open book, open laptop, open internet exam of Investment Analysis today - and we were all not sure what to expect from it.
When the exam started and I read the questions - there were two prominent things that struck me:
1. there was nothing which would need anyone to access internet for, if someone has paid attention in the class - in other words, it was relatively simple exam.
2. It tested understanding of the topics more than ability to do number crunching - so, a level field for all whether they are good at numbers or not; and a test to see how much we grasped in the course rather than how good we are at MS Excel.
This exam went quite well for me and I am really happy about it, as I write this post. Some more respect for Luis S. after this exam, as he stood true to what he had said in the concluding class - he doesn't care if we cannot find NPV after this class, but he wants us to know that life presents ambiguity and multiple choices for decisions to make. Exam today reflected this thought process so clearly and that has earned Luis my respect.
Tomorrow is the exam for Managerial Accounting - biggest exam in terms of credits it carries and tonight is going to be a long night :-)
