Geez, I am finishing my 2nd grad school course (1 more week). Everyone on the interwebs talks about how b-school is a breeze.

For me, it's quite intense. Of course, I work full-time but STILL. :oops:
Apparently I am good at summarizing large amount of information. However, I am not being analytical enough. When I state my opinion I don't elaborate much. I guess this mirrors my verbal communication (maybe). I often get frustrated when people don't "get to the point". Anyone else have a hard time elaborating what you mean (especially in lengthy papers)? Any suggestions?

I got an appointment with the disability office. Not sure what would help other than extended time on the tests.

b-school?

To elaborate in papers just be wordy and descriptive, for instance:
Sentence) The dog ran down the street.

My rewrite) The oversized Dalmatian , with an angry crowd of 1000's chasing after him, streamlined like a bullet at a rate of 70 miles per hour, through a a dusty, gravel, country road.

Make sure you get details about
*how it looks, sounds, tastes, smells, feels
*statistical data
*Write similes, metaphors, and use literary devices of the like
