re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Roanoke I don't think it involves math. From what I understood it was just 4 tests on the reading material. I'll get some details tomorrow morning and post them here so people can have a better understanding of the course.

JJ121 thanks for the post about Accounting 701, can you provide some other details about that class? I haven't heard much about it.

Also, if anyone has already taken Vines last finance 701 test i would appreciate some feedback. My schedule and motivation have made this last module 4 a real struggle.

Thank You very much Winchester, I thought as much but I wanted to be sure. Looking forward to reading about the details that you will have gathered. I'm right there with you on Vine's last test, I'm sure it'll mostly be qualitative based on how long his reading guide for this module is, but I'm in no rush to take it

I'm with jj121, I just finished acct and found it super easy. I thought it was easier than BADM 700. I paired acct and FIN 701 in the same session and felt it was a good match. Winchester, it's through cengage and you have weekly assignments (3 check your work) and 3 multiple choice tests, 35 questions each.

I have a question for anyone who's already taken ECON 705 form Shaughnessy. Does he require that you have the online access version of the textbook or is a PDF copy of the textbook sufficient. I'm asking because the online access card is $125 and the PDF copy of book is $30.

Paul, I'll be in 702 with you.

lsusports was pretty accurate. Ambrosio is an adjunct who is operating out of the West Coast. His ACCT701 class for Spring Session 1 (2017) involved Text Reading, Homework and Exams.

Each week you cover 2 chapters. Each chapter has 4-5 assignments, and each assignment has 1-5 questions. Its either multiple choice or fill in the blank. Fill in the blank is usually math related, but its elementary math. You also get 3 "check your work" attempts. If you can't get an answer right with 3 tries and then a submit.... its not the course. On the off chance that you do get a question wrong twice, just wait 2 days and someone will ask the same question as you, and someone else will answer it, likely Prof. Ambrosio. He actually told people to stop overthinking things and just gave people the answer.

For the exams, its 35 multiple choice (1 attempt) and we started with 50 minutes per exam, but people complained and he bumped it to 75 minutes. Frankly, 50 minutes was plenty, but the extra time didn't hurt. There is virtually NO MATH on the exams.

The only chapter homework that deviated from this was the last, it was LONG, but SUPER EASY.

Prof. Ambrosio answered questions nearly 24 hrs a day, but honestly, the most common question was whether people should use 1 or 2 decimal points in answers. That was literally 75% of the questions asked.

Hope this helps.

I spoke with a co-worker this morning who had Lin for ISDS 705. He said you read certain chapters each week and then have a mid-term and then read another certain amount of chapters each week and then take a final test. No math, no calculations. Test were 60 minutes I think. In his opinion it was an easy class and he got an A. Seems easier and less stressful to me than ISDS 702. Anyone who registered for it for AP2 please provide some feedback.

Anybody take test 4 with vines yet? If so, what should I focus my last minute review on? Thanks!

Thanks for the info on 705 Winchester.

I took Vines test this morning. I had 3 math problems and 7 short answer. The problems were all on firm value. Easily answerable if you did the Practice problems. All but one of my short answer questions could be answered from the guide alone.
I personally dislike the short answers. I'd rather have 10 math problems but my background is accounting... so I deal with numbers all day and write very little.
