... “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” A famous saying from the movie Forrest Gump pretty much describes my situation. In my earlier life, I never thought I would come to US for my master of engineering, work as an electrical engineer at Force10networks (it was acquired by DELL recently), and now pursue an MBA. My past accomplishments that have prepared me for the W.P. Carey MBA include teaching mathematics in Taiwan, coming to US to improve myself, earning my engineering masters at the University of Arizona, and working as electrical design engineer at force10networks. Before I came to US, I had taught mathematics from high school level to college calculus for seven years. The reason that I like teaching is I like to sense students’ issues of learning mathematics. I like to communicate with them, and to help them succeed in achieving their mathematics grades. The teaching experience made me learn to listen to students’ needs, to develop an efficient and easy way for students to learn mathematics, and to become a good mentor. As I believe, having the ability to sense people’s needs and to develop a solution to make people happy made me a popular and successful teacher in Taiwan. At that time; I was satisfied with my...

...Career Comparison for Accountants and Financial Analysts Prepared for Sara Ray Prepared by Career Consultant June 16, 2013 LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Sara Ray 123 Brookside Dr. Holbrook, NJ 75486-1256 June 21, 2013 Dear Sara, Here is the report you requested on June 1st for a comparison between of a career as an accountant and a financial analyst. Based off our conversation, we took your interests and previous work experience into consideration as we compared specific criteria between these two careers. While working for your previous employer as a junior accountant, you show your ability for detail and organization. An accountant must possess these skills as well as the ability to work independently. I also gathered from our conversation that you are not one to handle a tremendous amount of pressure well. As a financial analyst, this is a skill that is required. You could be faced with many deadlines that could be very stressful. Your education course of study was also included to compare to the education requirements of each career and even though there are many similarities between the two, there are many differences. For example, both careers require good written and oral comprehension but an accountant needs to have excellent mathematic skills and be able to choose the right formula to solve a problem. This skill is not as important as a financial analyst as is the ability to develop solutions to complex problems that need to be solved....

...To further address the issues of why female students underperform in mathematics, Shapiro and Williams (2012) offer several stereotype interventions. One of the interventions is a self-affirmation, which is a process of creating positive thoughts about one’s importance or value that is different than the negative threatening situation. Concentrating on a positive thought of value, unrelated to mathematical tasks, elevates the stress of stereotype threat. Another intervention proposed in the article is intended in reducing the differences between the two opposing sides. As an example, women can examine how they are similar with men, instead of concentrating on differences, prior to the test. This strategy has shown to improve women’s achievements significantly (Shapiro and Williams,...

...religious and superficial beliefs than that of educating today’s students in areas of science and mathematics. These are the areas that promote critical thinking, reasoning, and problem solving skills. It is these skills that once kept this great nation a float and ahead of the rest. With the introduction of Quantitative Reasoning we will be able to pull out of this economic disaster we are currently living in today. Quantitative Reasoning is a course we are required to take halfway through the MBA program at the University of Phoenix. It applies quantitative reasoning skills to business problems. During which we will learn to analyze data using a variety of analytical tools and techniques. It combines many areas of study such as, formulas, visual representations of quantities, time value of money, and measures of uncertainty. The diversity of this course challenges our critical thinking, reasoning, and problem solving skills we will need to succeed in later course. It uses math formulas that will be critical for accounting. Visual representation of quantities used in statistics and economics. As well as time value of money used in economics and finance courses. The Quantitative Reasoning for Business simply is an overview of the economic, finance, accounting, and research courses we will study after using the skills learned from an Quantitative view. Where traditional mathematics fails, Quantitative Reasoning focuses on those areas to interpret and critically assess...

...Since my early days in middle school, I have been passionate about mathematics. Throughout my high school career, I have been in advanced math classes all the way up to Advanced Placement Calculus, and maintaining an “A” in those courses. Math draws me in with every problem; it's the fascination of knowing there is one certain answer. Statistics had the same magnetic pull on me when it was mentioned in my Accounting, Economics, Government, and Personal Finance classes; therefore, I began doing research on college majors that combined math and statistics into one path of study. This resulted in my discovery of Actuarial Sciences. The more research I conducted, the more interested I became in this field. When our class studied stocks in Economics,...

...that emphasized intense religious devotion, personal humility, and interpretation of the Bible. Kant received a stern education that preferred Latin and religious instruction over mathematics and science. Kant attended college at the University of Königsberg, where his early interest in classics was quickly overtaken by philosophy, which all first year students studied and which encompassed mathematics and physics as well as logic, metaphysics, ethics, and natural law. Kant's philosophy professors exposed him to the approach of Christian Wolff. But Kant was also exposed to a range of German and British critics of Wolff, and there were threads of Aristotelian and Pietism represented in the philosophy faculty as well. Kant's favorite teacher was Martin Knutzen, a Pietistic follower who was influenced by Christian Wolff and the British philosopher John Locke. Kant released his first work, Thoughts on the True Estimation of Living Forces in 1747, which was a critical attempt to mediate a dispute in natural philosophy between Lebinizians and Newtonians over the proper measurement of force. After college Kant spent six years as a private tutor to young children outside Königsberg. By this time both of his parents had died and Kant's finances were not yet secure enough for him to pursue an academic career. He finally returned to Königsberg in 1754...

...writing. In this semester, I have enrolled 4 different classes such as Managerial Accounting, Personal Skill Development for Business, International Business and Global Social Responsibility, and Business Statistic. All of these classes are related to business studies, which is my major. Among so many different concentrations in business, I have chosen finance because my father has influenced me in many ways since I was young. He is an active trader on the share market with an extensive portfolio. Therefore, he always shares his insights with me and teaches me how to perform technical analysis and fundamental analysis to identify the intrinsic value of a company. Eventually, this makes me have more interest in finance and the stock market. I am confident that I have much to offer and I am geared to learn more in Northeastern University. First of all, the class I am most interested to attend is Managerial Accounting – ACCT 2301. This is because accounting is one of the main and most important parts of a business. Accounting is often called as “language of business” because it interprets everything of a company’s operation and finance. It is also important to understand the account of the company before making a major decision such as deciding the...

...The Modern Liberal Arts The “New Liberal Arts” by Sanford J. Ungar refers to when money is tight in the economy people starting to despise the liberal arts education which unavoidably brings criticism from policy makers and news media. However, the critique seems to have the wrong judgement of the liberal arts. Ungar is the president of a Liberal Arts College in Baltimore, Maryland and has states many misperceptions about the complexities, the financial issues, and the diversities of liberal arts. Ungar disagrees with the idea that “Many people think liberal-arts degree is a luxury that most families can no longer afford, it’s only for low income and first generation college students pursue.” (Ungar, 191,192) According to Ungar, this is another...

...Dulaney University of Phoenix Reasoning for Business 2 Quantitative Reasoning for Business Upon first glance at the Quantitative Reasoning for Business Overview, I was initially like a deer caught in headlights. What did I sign up for? But after research, I found out that my reaction was not unusual for nonmathematical majors. If you haven’t noticed yet math was not one of my favorite courses. However, upon further review the QRB is essential in preparing for future courses in economics, finance, accounting, operations and research. QRB focuses on practical applications of mathematics, in college, career and life. The QRB topics include, for example, income taxes, statistical reasoning, mathematics, voting theory, and exponential growth. Using and understanding the QRB will assist me in being successful in math in the rapidly changing workforce. The QRB should improve my critical thinking and problem solving skills. It also should prepare me to identify and intelligently face problems that I may encounter in my daily life that require quantitative reasoning. “With quantitative reasoning skills, one can integrate deductive logic aspects from multiple knowledge dimensions into program evaluation and research” (Patton, 1990). With quantitative analysis, it is especially important to understand the units of measurement...
