I said people can cram in any course(B&M, online or test out exam), whereas self-paced is the best learning environment for myself, as I've learned much more from it then regular classes. Nice personal attack by the way. The reason I have your notes is because I'm engaged, someone in the community recommend your notes and whilst reading the book is good it's always good to be prepared for the test. You yourself don't even just hand out the notes, people have to ask you for them, that takes some sort of initiative right?
With a competent mind, worst case scenario you can just google it.
But yes, this can be learned through reading books and testing yourself on the chapters, no need for a $1500 course.
If people have failed the TECEP, they obviously have not invested enough time in understanding the concepts of Strategic management, whether that be through life experience, work experience, reading, videos etc.
Anecdotal experience is good, but it's just that, anecdotal. A counter anecdotal experience for example, is that a friend of mine majored in an irrelevant field and is now a marketing manager at Netlfix making 100K +
Did she learn the concepts from her BA? no. Did she learn research, writing, analyzing etc. Of course!
The rest was her own motivation and drive to learn things and she did so with her Bachelor's by starting as an intern. You're banking way too much on the fact that upper level courses(especially scheduled classes) give you everything you need in a business job. Whether people want to learn or just cram to get their bachelors is up to them. I choose to learn, and choose to do it at my own pace.
You are so right, you know so much more than I do! Congratulations!
Good luck in your future endeavors!
