Signum Magnum College

Well, if it interests anyone:


Passed the "IBM AI Foundations for Business" sales pitch. Still, true to their word, no one asked for any money. Next course: "International Leadership and Organizational Behavior" from Università Bocconi. I think I will try it in Italian language because why not.


Best regards,

Hello!


I didn't do it in Italian language. Started it, felt I have heard that stuff before, passed all the exams at the first try and move on to ...dunno yet. Something else.


Best regards,

I have some questions about the Signum Magnum College free MBA program and hope you can answer them. Will the program get you a Signum Magnum College degree diploma or just individual Coursera certificates? How many Coursera courses need to be completed? Is there anything besides Coursera courses that needs to be completed? I appreciate what you have said publically about the program so far. Thanks.

 

As far as I know, I will get a Signum Magnum College degree diploma.

Have a look here! https://www.coursera.org/programs/program-2-tl8hs

I had an exchange with a staff member. The workload of the courses you see in the link posted is approx. 45 ECTS. It was said that there will be a capstone worth 15 ECTS, but I do not know anything about that yet.

 

Hello!


OK, I did the course here (I was allowed to do so for free because, as said in the description, you can do extra courses if you ask for it): https://www.coursera.org/specializations/rapid-prototyping-and-tooling. Cool thing for my day job; onwards to "Managerial Economics and Business Analysis Specialization" from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign!

"Signum Magnum" reminds me irresistibly of PEMEX unleaded.

Too arcane?

 

Maybe. I did not get it...

 

It brings to mind a particular size of wine bottle.

 

I have signed up for this program and have begun taking courses. No one has asked for money. No one has said much of anything to me, though I have been given access.

Mac Juli. When it mentions one can take additional free (elective) courses, do you know if this includes only MBA/Business courses? Can one take a course from any field of study, even if it is not business-related? Who do you contact?

 

Ask the guys who have confirmed your enrollment. Nice guys, they were very responsive!

I was like, nah, google certificates are cooler...

 

An update:

I passed the Google Data Analytics Professional certificate. The "Managerial Economics and Business Analysis Specialization" from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is pretty tough (and sometimes a little boring), so I decided I need a lift in morale. I try to do the Unilever Supply Chain Data Analyst certificate next before I get back on the MBA track...

Best regards,
Mac Juli

 

Next update:

Finished the Unilever Supply Chain Data Analyst certificate except the peer reviewed assignment. I failed miserably, and that can't be possibly related to the fact that I misunderstood the task and did a terrible botch-job. No, the people who graded me were just mean and nasty. *sniff*

Was so in uproar I finished the Google Project Management Professional Certificate this weekend. I might redo the missing assignment of the Unilever Supply Chain Data Analyst certificate some time, but not today.

Best regards,
Mac Juli

 

Hello!

Some weeks ago, a colleague from another department was on the phone, crying because of a personal matter. I did my best to take care of her, but I need to say I was completely over-challenged. I did the "Psychological First Aid" course as a result. It was not 100% what I thought it would be (rather for first responders/helpers after a big catastrophe), but it was very useful nevertheless.

For some reason, this is not a default topic in an MBA course.

Best regards,
Mac Juli
