Engineers have a problem understanding commerce subjects.” Such was my thinking before joining SDA Bocconi Asia Center as a part of IMB7. The first class that we had to take was a pre-course in Accounting which was just 12 hours long. Ms. Laura Zoni (SDA Bocconi, Milan) had flown in to teach the same.
Ms. Laura asked about the background of the class to teach accordingly and made sure that the students of the diversely experienced batch understand the basic principles of accounting. The visual representations, as well as real-life references of different industries, made it very simple for everybody to understand. Group Activities and assignments also made the students implement the theoretical concepts and enhanced the confidence. Apart from teaching the modules she also briefed the class about how life in Milan is so that people feel comfortable during their tri-semester there.
“Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids together and motivating them, The teacher is most important.” – Bill Gates.
It was an emotional moment for the students to bid farewell to their first professor. Despite the course duration is 12 hours, the students felt connected to her all thanks to the personal experiences she shared and the jokes she cracked. The students gave her a small token of appreciation and the class representative went on to say goodbye in the words, "As a representative of class I have few words to say about the lecture and Professor Laura. We thank you very much for being extremely patient with us and we couldn't have asked for a better start to our IMB course. Contrary to the popular belief engineers hate math because our math rarely has numbers in it, thanks to Prof Laura, numbers have been brought back to our math and we are falling in love with math once again. The name Laura is going to be entered in 58 more balance sheet because we have received a huge intangible asset from you. And to balance the sheet a huge debt has also occurred in our liabilities. We remember your warnings about debt but this is one debt we are proud to own it and it can never be repaid. We will be always in debt to you. Thank you very much for everything and best wishes to you and also convey our wishes to your son for his career."
That moment indeed was the end of the beginning of the journey of IMB7 and shall be cherished throughout.
