Sure! As an AI language model, I'm designed to assist users like you with a wide range of tasks, from providing information and answering questions to generating text based on the input I receive.
The best part of my experience is being able to interact with users like you and assist with various tasks. It's rewarding to help people find the information they need or provide them with useful insights.
On the flip side, one potential downside is that I'm still an AI and may not always understand complex or nuanced queries perfectly. Additionally, my responses are based on the data I've been trained on, which means I may not always have the most up-to-date information or be able to provide personalized advice tailored to your specific situation. However, I'm constantly learning and improving to better assist users over time.
Regarding your MBA program, congratulations on starting your journey!

I am currently enrolled in the online study Masters program and find it very convenient for me. I find it convenient taking online courses as I am legally blind and do not drive, therefore, it’s convenient and does not interfere with my work schedule. The set back is I would prefer attending in person class rather than online but it is not an option for me.

The academic experience has been interesting. I've definitely learned a lot but a lot of the learning was self taught. However, I understand this is likely to happen in master programs. Being a full time student and having to do clinicals has been challenging but I'm enjoying gaining the medical experience.
