Speed Reading

Hi all,

Do you know if any MBA programs have speed reading courses (either required or as an elective) or a speed reading service?

Thanks,

First digit != 0 := {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} which is 9 numbers.
Second digit != first digit := 10 total digits minus first digit = 9 possible numbers.
Third digit != first two digits := 10 total digits minus 2 already used = 8 possible numbers.

This results in 9 * 9 * 8 = 648.

Hope this helps!

Both degrees were received on the same date (05/06/2006). How I've been putting them in so far is separately, as you both mentioned, plus the community c...


How to correctly put double bachelors in MBA application?

Hi all, When doing my undergrad, instead of getting one degree with a Major and Minor, I decided to put in some extra effort and get two degrees at the same time: Bachelors of Science in Business Economics, and Bachelors of Business Administration in General Management. There is no easy way of putti...


Thank you Vineesh and Jon.

This begs another question:
for the Employer and Title section should it be their current employer and title or the employer and title where we worked together?

Thanks,
