One professor suggests that undergraduates ought to spend as little time as possible on those courses concerning "management". Frankly speaking, I feel odd when introducing myself as a business administration student. As a matter of fact, I'm still far from perfect self-management. Mkt and similar business courses are of fun, but those abstract modern western theory are of little use compared to practical experience. This semester, I have a new classmate who finished his 2-year associated degree study in CUHK and become one of our BBA students in HKBU. What I've realized is that he understand HK society much better than me who stay on campus all the time and he has much experience in part-time job and has excellent vision.
When I talk with final year students, I receive an answer of ”applying for postgraduate and in search of occupation at the same time”. Hence，I'm realzing that it's kind of compulsory choice confronted by every graduate student. I find my foundation year in Hong Kong lack of passion as all I have done is pursing a high GPA and read books as many as I can without a clear vision of the future and understanding of myself. I'm joining HKBU Mandarine debation team, as a Year1 student, which is actually one year older than other freshmen.I don't have an explicit expectation of what everything will be like after my 3-year formal campus life in HKBU, but I decide to start with what I have motivation and passion in, and my first year
"wasted" occasionally force me to think about what I am here in Hong Kong for. I once see Hong Kong as my dream city for university life, but now I realize that Kong Kong is no more than the place that I have to endeaver to earn my own future. This rather reminds me to waste time no more....
BBA is no more than a major name, and as I see it, critical thinking has to be fostered with wide knowledge and vision, both books and practical experience are of help. What distinguish a BBA student than other major students? They are not oblidged to spend time on endless experiments in labs and have more opportunity and free space to organize their own study in econ?finance?mkt?...What I find is that schools care little about whay you have learned but how many credits you have earned so that you can be qualified to graduate from colleges, and no wonder my Chinese teacher call such universities as Study Stores(學店).Just do it, my dear friend, you can make it^ ^
