Final Seminar

The long-awaited day of the final seminar is now behind me! After weeks of intense studying and stress, I feel very relieved now that it is done! First of all, I would like to congratulate all the Atlantis students for passing the thesis, and thank our teachers for the smooth running of the class. I know some students were very worried about the thesis and absolutely not confident in passing, but in the end everybody passed!!

That was a very interesting day, even if the discussion tended to go off track sometimes, but in a whole the discussion was good and pretty much everybody participated! Linnea and Connor were our opponents (or "discussants", teachers say) and they did a good job by questionning us on things we did not think about and that were very relevant. I'd like to adress special congratulations to Mr. Greenberg, whose thesis we had to review, and had an excellent defense despite some unlucky facts that made his work almost impossible to complete. This kid is brilliant.

Finally, I am very happy that Per and I passed the thesis! Per did a great job, almost keeping me on track and motivating me with some swedish organizational skills, that was a real pleasure to carry this work out with such a good student, and a good friend. We did not only passed but also had an A! That was totally unexpected and I am very proud of our work! The thesis remains a very good experience, even if sometimes it felt very very academical (way different from the way business is taught at ECE), there was a real knowledge creation process.
