What has she got through those sessions? In the first term of my MBA, I was a bit disappointed by the number of general lectures rather than smaller-scale seminars, even though I'd been warned in advance that this would be the case. I had a choice between a course specializing in law and one which offered lots of modules on Finance. I opted for the latter. It was really a matter of self-discipline -- I was always bad at it, so I thought I'd better do something about that. We spent far less time on personnel matters, *but ironically, I've got a lot more out of those sessions.* I suppose what I'm saying is that the course has helped me to be more realistic about where my strengths and weaknesses lie. I seldom have anything to do with the financial side of things now.
