re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Not even close lsusports. Bottom 30%. I smell an 80.

I may re-read the chapter summaries 1 - 5 before tackling the mid term. Just wondering if that's even worth it.

I've taken Blue Round and midterm quiz. Both aren't bad at all. We were in top 50% but not sure how that'll look; I'm thinking a 90%? As far as simulation, we went down a good bit but we expected it due to so much in marketing expenses of a new product.

I just wanted to give my thanks to the many contributors on this board. The content of which ultimately helped me to make the decision to attend LSUS for the online MBA program. Cheers!

I am getting really annoyed with the grading on the MADM 701 discussion forums. They keep taking points off for "spelling and grammar," when I know i've written everything properly. I made a freaking 33 on my ACT in English

I have completed all but 710. I took 720 with him and it was a little difficult. I had a high B, but that's because the weight of the exams were setup in a way that my low grade on exam one prevented me from getting an A. (Even with a 100 on the next 3 exams.) I'm taking 710 with him next. I don't think the class was that bad, I just didn't study well enough the first exam. 701 and 730 were with Vines and he is probably the best professor in this entire program, in my opinion. I would rather study hard for his exams than do all the busy work in other courses. It comes down to preference. He isn't easy, but he also doesn't care about the fluff. He wants to feel you're learning and explaining things in your own words is what he likes. (At least, that has been my experience.)

Meant to add that Hsieh does multiple choice exams that are timed. He does give you his own guide that walks you through all concepts and problems.

I did well this week. 98, but I had a note about not using I feel or I believe. Also, my APA is still wrong. I've used a generator before and recently I've used Purdue OWL and did it from scratch. So, I'm not sure what to fix. I emailed and made sure to say that I'm not so worried about the point value as I am understanding where I'm going wrong. Saying something is incorrect without feedback does me no good. Where am I off? Lol

Lsu741852, thanks for the info. So all his exams are weighed differently? Were the exams proctored?

I'm in the FIN Specialization. I won't need to take 710 due to some prior courses before the recent degree audit. I will be taking FIN 701 with Vines in Fall AP1. But I've taken FIN 720 with Hsieh and FIN 730 with Vines. Vines is great. Hsieh was an arse. 720 is my only B in the program. He basically posts the material and that's it. You know when tests are but he doesn't hold chat sessions and when you ask a question, he gives a vague response. That class dealt with international markets and valuing currencies, exchange rates, etc. Lucky for me I still had some old notes from my FIN classes at Nicholls to help supplement but for those that weren't finance majors, the class was brutal. The 1st exam I made around a 77% which was the class average. My remaining 3 exams were A's. Just couldn't rebound from the 1st exam to bring it up to an A.

We had the same experience! My only B as well. I did blame myself for not studying hard for exam 1, but then again the class average was low. I think I had a 74 or something around there. I like Vines much better,but I prefer Hsieh and math over all this writing I'm doing in MADM. So, all Finance for me! :)
