Tonight I stepped into my Management Science (ManSci) class. Room 510. RCBC campus.
You see, this computer lab is very special to me; it always brings memories of my ManStat sessions with Mrs. Reyes two terms ago.
Stepping inside the computer lab tonight brought me hope: to get a better grade. But this time, in ManSci. One strategy was to choose a different seat, but, believe it or not, I could still see and hear Winning woes lecturing there. Isn’t that scary? Especially for Sir Dennis!
Anyway, my ManSci professor is Dr. Dennis Berino. Yes, my former CSR teacher. Rumor has it that Sir Dennis lectures very fast like a bullet train. Well, it’s his forte. He’s a Stat major and he is a Doctor of Business Administration. What do you expect? Honestly, if I will not see any sign of Sir Dennis slowing down, I expect myself to catch up and manage to perform well in his class. A grade of 3.5 is not bad at all, but that doesn’t mean I won’t strive for 4.0. Not that came from the Bernoulli family, but I think my mathematical skill is average. With the right attitude—and enough sleep, I think I can survive his class.
We were 22 or so in the class. Quite big actually that we are cramped inside Room 510. I saw some familiar faces this evening. My former classmates from my other subjects where there: Imran, Yokey, Mei-mei, and Shirley.
ManSci is basically the use of scientific method for decision making. And we will be studying several quantitative models. Wait until you hear more from the ManSci wizard. Oh Lord!
Okay. This plus Ethics and InfoMan. I am really up for a challenging term. Looking at the ManSci syllabus, I can see myself doing the Moodle Marathon again. That means less time for blogger.com and more time for teachnologists.com! (Ugh!)
Secretly, I was hoping to belong to a punctilious group—and I did! Meimei, our ManStat 2nd honor (next to JP), will be my groupmate…and my partner throughout the term. Inside, I was leaping with joy. God is good to me! J
Sir Dennis, to our relief, said that his ManSci class is not a rocket science. He stressed that! If he was indeed serious, I will start campaigning for his subject to my other friends who have not taken ManSci. It’s too early to tell though. But if it is not a rocket science—something that will require great intelligence or technical ability—then I might enjoy attending his class. Might. After all, I need to remind myself what I had to give up—my Thursday night!—this term just to take ManSci. If you know my Thursday schedule, you’d say it is truly a big sacrifice.
With this and that, I look forward to having some fascinating, thought-provoking, mind-stretching discussions in ManSci. I have an inking that what I can learn from this course will contribute to my growth, not just accumulate knowledge. On top of that, it will help me discover my God-given potentials that will someday be part of my solutions in making a difference in this world.
Not a rocket science, but it will be a useful rocket ship to somewhere. Somewhere.
