Take Home Exams...

I am at school trying to get myself motivated to write two papers: one on microeconomics and the other on macroeconomics.  It's a take-home exam worth 40% of my final grade.  And I can't get focussed.  I think it would be better if I was with the folks in the Cornell-Queen's MBA program who are writing a sit-down exam as I type this.  10 questions.  10 marks each.  2 hours.

I have the outlines for both papers done.  And about half of the "meat" for the first one done, too.  I am not terribly passionate about either of the topics, so that might be part of the problem.  When I wrote my paper for Global Business Environment, the issue was not my ability to use the frameworks, it was to narrow my scope.  I had LOTS of passion for the topic.  With Economics, I really think the issue is the lack of passion and the ability to apply the frameworks.  Yikes!!

Well, I guess I better get my act together and make up some stuff.  I can't tell you about what because that might be considered "talking with someone" and be considered academic dishonestly.
