Friday:
Classes on Friday began with Economics, followed by Decision Models and Marketing. I was project lead for our team on an interesting focus group assignment for Marketing that studied customer needs relating to new product concepts. After class on Friday, I attended an awesome career session on networking strategies followed by a review session for Saturday's Decision Models quiz. This may have been the longest Friday ever (I didn't check in to my room until 9 PM)!
Saturday:
The highlight of the day was a tough Decision Models quiz on trees (one approach to modeling). I am comfortable with my knowledge of using trees but am not sure of my results on the quiz. Only time will tell! There was also an interesting presentation of perception illusions presented in Marketing.

WEMBA Term 2 : Weekend 1
This weekend not only marked the beginning of Term 2, but also was spouse/partner weekend! Spouses and partners are invited to join the residency experience and participate in various activities with each other.
Instead of being housed at the R. David Thomas Center (good accommodations), we were among the "lucky" couples to be rotated off-site to the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club (four Diamond)! We checked in before class and decided to skip breakfast to mingle a bit before going our separate ways for the day.
Friday:
My first class was Decision Models, followed by Managerial Economics and Marketing Management. While each of these courses will be relevant and interesting, Decision Models looks to be the most personally stimulating (and challenging).
Stacey started the day with an ice breaker session, followed by a trip to the Duke campus store and Chapel. She then joined our team for lunch before heading to a session on communication and personalities in the afternoon. A special dinner (New Orleans theme) was then provided in the Winter Garden of the Fox Center. After dinner, we walked to the club room for some drinks and discussion, and finally to the Washington Duke for some much needed R&R.
Saturday:
We wrapped up the intro material in each class, while our spouses and partners took a morning trip to the Duke Primate Center. We all had lunch again together before the last class of the day and then headed home.
