Happenings at Quinn: Part Two

April 15th, 2009

We’re into our final two weeks of lectures now. Time really does fly.. it only seems like yesterday that we were starting college! The last week or so has been quite hectic (as most weeks are in final year). We had a case study to complete as part of our continuous assessment for Strategy Formulation and Implementation which was challenging given the time constraints, however, it was good preparation for the exam which was a bonus! it also was a nice way to apply what we had learned so far to the case itself.

Last Wednesday was the presentation of prizes for the Leinster Society of Chartered Accountants Case Study which my team were lucky enough to win. The presentation involved the presentation of the prizes themselves along with taking some photos first and then up to one of the boardrooms in Quinn for lunch with representatives from the LSCA and our lecturer, Prof. Peter Clarke.

Tomorrow we have the farewell ball which is taking place in Dún Laoghaire at 7 o’clock even though lectures only finish at 6 for some of us! It’ll be a bit of a rush although buses have been organised so it won’t be so bad. Some of our lecturers for our Friday classes have been very accommodating and have rescheduled our classes for different days so we don’t have to worry about coming in early on Friday! Although in some cases I think its more so the lecturers themselves don’t have to come in after the ball!!! In any case we’re all looking forward to it, lecturers included.
