My MBIT experience
MBIT - Masters in Business and IT
How time flies, I actually applied to study for my masters program in 2003 suppose to start March 2003 but due to SARs it was delayed and started only end June 2003. Classes ended early 2006 but I was given 6 months to a year to complete my thesis (counted from early 2005 I finally submitted final draft end Nov 2005 but no response from my Professor until I send 2 reminders early 2006) Finally I received an email from my Professor mid March 2006 that I pass my thesis on my first submission. Most of the students need to resubmit due to minor or major revisions but I only need to just do very little adjustments to my final draft. While preparing for my graduation, my professor sent me an email informing me of the good news. I was chosen to be the IBM award winner and top graduate for MBIT in 2006. Most interestingly among 16 graduates I was only female :)
I completed all courses on time and receive all passes on first submission. I never submit any course assignments late they are all either submitted early or on time. I am glad I took this course as I met many great coursemates from different ages and different backgrounds. Not all of them are from IT background. We have managers, administrators, developers, and many others. Below is extracted from SIM website. Sadly due to each others' work commitments we have not been catching up with each other for more than a year now. How I miss the time I spent with my team mates Mok Mun Yin, William Chew and Daniel Yap. Daniel being youngest graduated at age 29. When he register for course he was around 27.
This is extract of my testimonial for RMIT Australia website:
Master of Business Information Technology Graduate (2006)
“The MBIT program has helped build my IT knowledge and improve my management skills. Before taking this program, I had little expertise in how to manage my work and staff appropriately. I enjoyed the company of my course mates who were working adults from different industries who helped me deal with relationships with my work colleagues. The MBIT program has a tough study schedule but it is designed to help students adapt to challenges faced in the real working world. I have nothing but praise for the program.”I have my two professors to thank Prof Barry McIntyre and Prof Vass Karpathiao. They were very experience and great teachers.URL: http://www.rmit.edu.au/bus/bit/testimonials-mbitoffshore
