Class Session 1: Managerial Marketing and Economics

Tonight is our first night with the professors. I am so impressed. Class does not become any more relevant than this. Not only is the text enriching, the professors bring personality to it.

We began the night with Professor Michael Warren and Marketing Management. Michael has a great sense of humor and quickly built class consensus and buy-in.

At 15 past 8:00 PM Dr. JoJo Estrada made Managerial Economics understandable. In his understanding of economics he notes that we have a finite number of resources, including time. For this reason he doesn't want to incorporate homework and quizzes. What a wonderful idea that this professor understands the demands for time, and how education relates to a 24 hour day. When we get done with the class, JoJo wants us to leave as an everyday knowledgable consumer of economic ideals. He says, "Economics transcends everything you do. It should not be left in the classroom".

Tonight the 4 hour timeframe was a little tough on the tailbone, but there is a promise of providing the crew with a light snack next week and weekly some coffee to keep us going. Its these little touches that make us feel special here at Concordia.
