breezed through a test on risk finance

Toronto, 2015.10.28

I feel I did rather well on a test on risk financing tonight; in fact I think I over studied. When you walk out of a 90 minute exam at the 35 minute mark, perhaps yes you mis-spent some hours of review.

I'm enjoying the class, which is taught at the University of Toronto's school of continuing studies. I'm getting some of the gaps in my risk studies filled at a reasonably moderate expense, and a decent pace. Really do wish they would let go of some of the nonsense about "statistically significant sample sizes" and the supposed segregation of hazard from business risk. These are all mistakes, Otto; I looked them up.
