Learning How to Learn
I really thought the biggest challenge of the EMBA program would be time mangement. It’s actually learning how to learn.
I’ve always considered myself to be quite dedicatd to my on-going education. I spend a fair amount of time reading, writing and exploring in an effort keep up with technology (my day job), politics, business trends and the world in general. But this did not really provide me with effective study habits for graduate school.
Being out of school for…well…(quite a while), has made the adjustment to being in school more significant. Quite simply, I’ve forgotten how to study, how to comprehend and how to retain knowledge. After self-learning for the past ten years, it’s quite a shift to adapt one’s learning style to such a demanding program as Loyola’s. And it’s astonishing to find myself reverting to the old habits and behaviors from my early school years (like the foods I crave while studying, locations where I’m most productive, etc.)
I’m sure I’ll look back on this post a year from now and laugh — by that time I’ll be so used to learning that I probably won’t be able to remember what these early weeks were like. But next Fall is a long way off — in the meantime I could use all the fruit pies you can send my way.
