After the first proficiency exam, workshops will be given only for those who are willing to pay for the subjects you did not pass. (Please pay first!! How could you sit in when you did not pay!! You don't do this to us!! That is so unprofessional you deserve to fail!! XD!) Anyway, these series of workshops will eventually refresh your minds the hidden (??) concepts of accounting and basic quantitative knowledge.

The accounting workshop will take place on Saturdays and weekday nights usually twice a week. I highly recommend you to take the accounting workshop as UP MBA program may require you more or less ample amount of knowledge for it. Not to mention the professor teaching accounting is very good in teaching accounting (that is redundant and so?) >_<~!

The accounting workshop is very informative and very fun. you will always get a good hard laugh each and every meeting. No, I am not attending the workshop just for the jokes.... er.. maybe I am but it does not matter I feel like an an accountant now.... >__<~!!!

But seriously the accounting workshop is informative to the next level! I mean I've got accounting subjects during my undergrad but.. hell yeah I don't understand all of those until now. (sorry accounting teacher back then). Accounting workshop will definitely take your time but it will really give you everything you need to know about basic accounting. How to read financial statements, how to interpret them and how to look at them. Added value are the jokes mostly containing racism should I say schoolcism about other school... but since I graduated in UP and now in UP again I still find them 100% funny. >_<~!! Sorry other schools.. (but the professor is making an effort not to mention other schools that the workshop participants graduated in maybe he is afraid that they may get back on him after workshop hours ^_~) Even preschoolers will learn accounting I feel like I am transported to the accounting world every time.

I really miss the professors' evil laugh, evil smile and evil grin. Everything is evil including accounting... lovit!!! Go UP MBA!

I did not attend algebra as for the reason that it is hurting my pride that I did not even pass algebra. I seriously asked my self "What the hell is wrong with you? Are you retarded? How the hell did you even become an Engineer?" But anyway, instead I practiced tons of algebra problems. Work Problems, Production and such. I also conspired with my nice batch mates to spare some problem question given during the workshop. So being friendly pays off mind you.

Same as accounting I was not able to attend the calculus workshop as I am at some other part of the world enjoying my last days as a free person. The calculus teacher is also the professor in the MOF workshop so I can somehow assure you that it is worth it specially if you are without calculus background. Plus the professor is really trying hard to make jokes so even if you're tired please make a good laugh or so... (also she looks really young for her age. I thought she was a newly grad ... )

I have attended the statistics class just to know where the hell did I go wrong?? I am over confident that I have passed the Statistics exam but I don't know where I went wrong. The problems given in the workshop are really helpful

And so I attended the MOF workshop because I don't want to learn it by my self. As I said Ms. young-looking professor will the one teaching you. It would have been perfect if she have quizzes but since time is not ample enough she didn't. You will learn the main points on MOF but I suggest you get sample problems from the net as below:

All in all, the workshops are really helpful not only to pass the UP MBA proficiency exam but also in the future UP MBA use. I think they will not force us to learn all these if they don't think that it would be useful during to us on the duration of the UP MBA / MS Finance program. Also like Mr. Fun-"Lovit" accounting professor said "your accountant classmates will most likely gobble you up".
